Mistakes made by some pilgrims performing 'Umrah.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We also spoke about this, and I am repeating it because it is important. We spoke about those who go to Makkah with the intention of performing 'Umrah, and how good their intention is, because an 'Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj. And by "equivalent," I mean equivalent to a Hajj in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and in other times. I said that, my brothers, because this is not a matter of consensus among the scholars. That is, the scholars did not agree that an 'Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed a woman who had missed performing Hajj with him. He said to her:
Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajj عمرة في رمضان تعدل حجة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 939Sahih (Darussalam)
, and in another wording:
with me معي
, which means: if you perform 'Umrah in Ramadan, it is as if you performed Hajj with me. For this reason, some scholars said that this hadith is specific to that woman and is not general for the entire community. However, the majority of scholars whom we have seen discussing this hadith hold that it is general.
