The 'Umrah is obligatory once in a lifetime
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: The hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us and said: Bulugh al-Maram 720 Then al-Aqra' ibn Habis stood up and asked: Is it every year, O Messenger of Allah? He said (peace and blessings be upon him): It was narrated by the five compilers other than al-Tirmidhi, and its original source is in Muslim from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah. Does this not indicate that the 'Umrah is not obligatory?
Answer: The evidence is varied, and this is regarding Hajj. The 'Umrah has its own evidence, and the correct view is that it is obligatory once in a lifetime, like Hajj, and anything beyond that is voluntary. This is based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the authentic hadith to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when she asked him if women have a duty of jihad. He said:Bulugh al-Maram 11:3, and based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement when Jibril (peace be upon him) asked him about Islam. He said: Sahih Muslim 8a It was narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah and al-Daraqutni with a sound chain. And there is other evidence.
Hajj has been prescribed for you
إن الله كتب عليكم الحجIf I had said so, it would have become obligatory. Hajj is once, and whoever does more than that, it is voluntary
لو قلتها لوجبت؛ الحج مرة فمن زاد فهو تطوعAnswer: The evidence is varied, and this is regarding Hajj. The 'Umrah has its own evidence, and the correct view is that it is obligatory once in a lifetime, like Hajj, and anything beyond that is voluntary. This is based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the authentic hadith to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when she asked him if women have a duty of jihad. He said:
Yes, a Jihad which is without fighting, it is Hajj and 'Umrah.
نعم، جهاد لا قتال فيه: الحج والعمرةAl-Islam implies that you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and you establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of Ramadan, and perform pilgrimage
الإسلام أن تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله وتقيم الصلاة وتؤتي الزكاة وتصوم رمضان وتحج وتعتمر
