The ruling on performing 'Umrah from al-Tan'eem?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But what is reprehensible is what some of the common people do. You find, for example, that a man comes from his country as a pilgrim for 'Umrah. Once he has performed 'Umrah today, he goes tomorrow for a second 'Umrah, and perhaps a third day after that, and so on. This is an error, because this was not known in the time of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). The Companions were more eager than we are for good and more sound in their judgment. As I told you a moment ago, it was not known that the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would leave Makkah to perform 'Umrah except in one case. If such a case occurs, there is no doubt that what the Sunnah indicates is permissible, and that is the case of whom? 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). But 'A'ishah's case (may Allah be pleased with her) was so she combined Hajj with 'Umrah and it became a combined pilgrimage. When the people finished Hajj, she said: . Then she was permitted to go out to al-Tan'eem and enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah, and her brother 'Abd al-Rahman was with her, but he did not enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah, because this was not known among them. She performed the 'Umrah and left. So if a woman finds herself in a situation like 'A'ishah's, it is permissible for her to perform 'Umrah from Makkah by going out to al-Tan'eem, because the Messenger ordered it. Otherwise, many of us know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in Makkah in the year of the Conquest. How long? How long did he remain? How long did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) remain in Makkah in the year of the Conquest? Nineteen days. He entered as a conqueror on the twentieth of Ramadan with ten days of Ramadan remaining, and he did not go out for 'Umrah, nor did he go out for 'Umrah after Ramadan, despite his ability to do so and his eagerness for good, and the fact that he is the legislator for the Ummah. So his leaving off 'Umrah despite his ability to perform it indicates that it is not prescribed.
But some people say: I perform 'Umrah first for myself, and the second one is for my father. We say that even performing 'Umrah on behalf of your father is questionable, because some scholars say that a person cannot perform 'Umrah or Hajj on behalf of another person except in two cases: if the person is dead, or if he is ill with an illness from which recovery is not expected. And even then, they say this is specific to the obligatory act, whereas for the voluntary act, no one performs Hajj on behalf of another, and no one performs 'Umrah on behalf of another. But we do not say this; rather, we say that it is an error to repeat 'Umrah in a single journey, because those who were more eager than we are for good, namely the Companions, did not do it.
Therefore, a person should restrain his emotions with the Shari'ah. That is, if there is an act of drawing near to Allah, he should restrain it with the Shari'ah. If it is mentioned in the Shari'ah, do it; and if it is not mentioned, leave it. Yes.
When she came with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his wives, she entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah in the Farewell Pilgrimage. When she reached Saraf, which is a known place, she started menstruating. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her while she was crying and said: What is making you cry? She told him that she was menstruating. He said: This is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam. Then he ordered her to enter the state of ihram for Hajj.
حين قدمت مع الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام ومعه زوجاته أحرمت بالعمرة في حجة الوداع ولما وصلت إلى سرف وهو موضع معروف حاضت فدخل عليها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهي تبكي وقال : ما الذي يبكيك؟ أخبرته أنها حائض. فقال : إن هذا شيء كتبه الله على بنات آدم . ثم أمرها أن تحرم بالحجO Messenger of Allah, the people are leaving with Hajj and 'Umrah, while I am leaving with only Hajj?
يارسول الله ينطلق الناس بحج وعمرة وأنطلق بحج؟But some people say: I perform 'Umrah first for myself, and the second one is for my father.
