The questioner : From the Arab Republic of Egypt, we received this message from 'Abd al-Ghaffar Mahmud al-Sa'idi, who asks: What is the ruling on repeating 'Umrah several times if a person has performed Hajj to the Noble Makkah?
The Shaykh : Repeating 'Umrah several times if a person has performed Hajj to Makkah is among the matters that are not prescribed. The Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Indeed, that is not prescribed by the consensus of the Muslims". Accordingly, a person should not repeat 'Umrah while he is in Makkah during the days of Hajj. In fact, the Sunnah is that one does not even repeat the tawaf of the House, but rather performs only the tawaf of the ritual, which is the tawaf upon first arrival, the tawaf of ifadah, and the tawaf of farewell, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did. There is no doubt that the best thing for a person to hold onto in his worship and in his attainment of the pleasure of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is what Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) brought.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
