The ruling on repeating 'Umrah from al-Tan'im Mosque.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding renewing 'Umrah, is it permissible for a person to repeat more than one 'Umrah, such as going out to al-Tan'im and returning?
The Shaykh : No, this was not the practice of the Salaf. In my knowledge, many people reverse the ruling of the Shari'ah. They know the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic):[Al-Baqarah 2:196]; so they do not want to perform 'Umrah before Hajj so that they do not have to bear the cost of the sacrificial animal, or if they are poor, they do not want to bear the burden of fasting, fasting three days during Hajj and seven days when they return. Therefore, many of these people, who are stingy with themselves regarding the obedience of their Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He), intend to perform Hajj ifrad, and they have planned for themselves to make up for the 'Umrah of Hajj that they missed before Hajj by performing 'Umrah after Hajj; because in this case, they escape the obligation of one of the two things mentioned earlier, namely the sacrificial animal, or fasting for ten days. This is a deception regarding this ruling of the Shari'ah. Therefore, we do not see it permissible for one who performed tamattu' with 'Umrah to Hajj to perform 'Umrah after Hajj by going out to al-Tan'im; because going out to al-Tan'im after Hajj is a sunnah (recommended practice) established by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Lady A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who had left Madinah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing 'Umrah for Hajj, but when she stopped at Saraf (a place near Makkah), her period (the custom of women) came upon her. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon her and found her crying, he said to her: . She said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said (peace and blessings be upon him): . So, due to the onset of menstruation, she was unable to complete her 'Umrah, which is part of the command of Allah in His saying: [Al-Baqarah 2:196]. Therefore, when she became pure at 'Arafah and performed all the rituals, and she left and performed the Tawaf of Ifadah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) announced after the Tawaf of Farewell, announcing the return to Madinah; he entered upon her, and there she was crying - again -. He said: . She said: "What is wrong with me?! The people return with Hajj and 'Umrah, and I return with Hajj without 'Umrah." "The people return" in another narration: "with two rituals, and I return with one ritual?!" So, he (peace and blessings be upon him), as is known for the entire Ummah, was gentle with his family and merciful, so he ordered her brother 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr al-Siddiq to ride her behind him, and to take her out to al-Tan'im so that she would perform 'Umrah as a substitute for the practical 'Umrah that she had missed previously.
Therefore, I say that going out to al-Tan'im after Hajj to perform 'Umrah is the 'Umrah of the menstruating woman. So, if any of the women is afflicted with what A'ishah was afflicted with, which is the inability to perform the 'Umrah of Hajj; then she may do what A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did. As for the women who are pure and who performed 'Umrah before Hajj, or who were able to do so but they limited themselves to Hajj ifrad, for one of the reasons I mentioned earlier, and then they want to make up for the 'Umrah before Hajj that they missed by performing 'Umrah from al-Tan'im; this is equating the pure women with the menstruating women, and this is not permissible. If that is the case, then it is even more so, and even more so, that it is not permissible for men. And all men must perform 'Umrah before Hajj; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it, by revelation from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), a continuing law until the Day of Resurrection when he said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 932Sahih (Darussalam), and he interlaced his fingers (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, we do not imagine that a Muslim would be compelled to perform a single Hajj without 'Umrah except in very, very narrow circumstances; like the circumstance of a menstruating woman who menstruates before she is able to perform the Tawaf of Arrival. For this reason, this eternal ruling of the Shari'ah must be observed; 'Umrah is part of Hajj, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 932Sahih (Darussalam).
Yes.
The Shaykh : No, this was not the practice of the Salaf. In my knowledge, many people reverse the ruling of the Shari'ah. They know the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic):
then whoever performs 'umrah [during the Hajj months] followed by Hajj [offers] what can be obtained with ease of sacrificial animals
فَمَنْ تَمَتَّعَ بِالْعُمْرَةِ إِلَى الْحَجِّ فَمَا اسْتَيْسَرَ مِنَ الْهَدْيِWhat is wrong with you, have you started menstruating?
ما لك أنَفِسْتِ ؟This is a matter that Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam. So do what the pilgrim does, except do not perform Tawaf and do not pray.
هذا أمرٌ قد كتبه الله على بنات آدم ، فاصنعي ما يصنع الحاج غير ألَّا تطوفي ولا تصليAnd complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allah
وَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِWhat is wrong with you?
ما لكِ ؟Therefore, I say that going out to al-Tan'im after Hajj to perform 'Umrah is the 'Umrah of the menstruating woman. So, if any of the women is afflicted with what A'ishah was afflicted with, which is the inability to perform the 'Umrah of Hajj; then she may do what A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) did. As for the women who are pure and who performed 'Umrah before Hajj, or who were able to do so but they limited themselves to Hajj ifrad, for one of the reasons I mentioned earlier, and then they want to make up for the 'Umrah before Hajj that they missed by performing 'Umrah from al-Tan'im; this is equating the pure women with the menstruating women, and this is not permissible. If that is the case, then it is even more so, and even more so, that it is not permissible for men. And all men must perform 'Umrah before Hajj; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made it, by revelation from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), a continuing law until the Day of Resurrection when he said:
Umrah has been entered into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.
دخلت العمرة في الحج إلى يوم القيامةUmrah has been entered into Hajj until the Day of Resurrection.
دخلت العمرة في الحج إلى يوم القيامةYes.
