Repeating 'Umrah in a single journey is a religious innovation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Some people come from a distant place for the purpose of 'Umrah to Makkah, then they perform 'Umrah and exit the state of ihram, then they go to al-Tan'īm and perform 'Umrah again,Meaning: performing several 'Umrahs in one journey. How is this?
May Allah reward you, this is a religious innovation in the religion of Allah; because no one is more eager than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or the Companions. As we all know, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah as a conqueror at the end of Ramadan, and he remained in Makkah for nineteen days without going out to al-Tan'īm to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. The Companions were the same. Therefore, repeating 'Umrah in a single journey is a religious innovation.And it is said to the person: If you wish to be rewarded, circumambulate the House; that is better for you than going out to al-Tan'īm.Then we also say: Circumambulate the House if it is not the season of Hajj. If it is the season of Hajj, the first circumambulation is sufficient for you. Leave the place of circumambulation for those who need it. For this reason, we find that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in all his 'Umrahs did not circumambulate, meaning: he did not repeat the circumambulation, nor did he go out to al-Tan'īm to perform an 'Umrah. We find that in the Farewell Pilgrimage, he did not circumambulate except for the ritual circumambulations: the circumambulation of arrival, the circumambulation of ifadah, and the circumambulation of farewell. It is well known that we are not more eager to obey Allah than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions.
So we say to this: Make it easy on yourself. The first 'Umrah is sufficient for you. And if you wish to leave Makkah, perform the circumambulation of farewell. And praise be to Allah.
