The questioner : He says:The questioner : I came on Thursday and performed 'Umrah. Is it permissible for me to perform a second 'Umrah?
The Shaykh : Yes, I ask you, what is the best guidance?
The guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
And what is our position regarding the Companions? Are they more beloved to us, or are we more beloved to good than they are? There is no doubt in this. Bring me one piece of evidence that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated 'Umrah in a single journey, or that the Companions repeated it in a single journey. You will not find a way to that. If this is the guidance of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who is our leader, and the guidance of the Companions, who are our righteous predecessors, how do we innovate what they did not do? We do not innovate this. Therefore, we hold that there are not two 'Umrahs in a single journey, neither for a person nor for his father or his mother. Whoever wishes to perform 'Umrah on behalf of his father or mother should do so in another journey. As for repeating 'Umrah in a single journey, there is no basis for it in the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor in the way of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). So let a person rest himself and say, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is sufficient for me as a model and example, and our righteous predecessors are sufficient for me." Do not complete it. Yes.
