(An 'Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj) Or is this specific to those who come from outside?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am a resident of Makkah. Should I go and perform an 'Umrah in this month because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 939Sahih (Darussalam) Or is this specific to those who come from outside?
The Shaykh : There is a difference of opinion among the scholars on this. Some scholars say that the people of Makkah have no 'Umrah unless they go out to some other place for a need and then return from that place to Makkah, in which case they perform an 'Umrah like everyone else. As for them going out of Makkah just to perform an 'Umrah, this is not prescribed for them. However, what appears to be the case is that they are like everyone else regarding the permissibility of 'Umrah, and that they may perform 'Umrah in Ramadan just as others do. However, what is certainly not in accordance with the Sunnah is the frequent repetition of going to al-Tan'īm in Ramadan to perform 'Umrah. This is not the way of the Salaf, whether a person performs the 'Umrah for himself or on behalf of someone else. As we all know, acts of worship are based on divine legislation; that is, if the Shari'ah has legislated them, they are valid, and if the Shari'ah has not legislated them, they are religious innovations.
Based on this, we say that what many people do today, which is to frequently go to al-Tan'īm to perform 'Umrah, has no basis, neither in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) nor in the way of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). Yes.
