The best time to perform 'Umrah is Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is there a specific virtue established for 'Umrah in the months of Hajj that differs from its virtue in other months?

Answer: The best time to perform 'Umrah is the month of Ramadan, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajjعمرة في رمضان تعدل حجة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 939Sahih (Darussalam)
It is agreed upon as authentic. In another narration in al-Bukhari:
it fulfills a Hajj with meتقضي حجة معي
And in Muslim:
would suffice for Hajj or Hajj along with meتقضي حجة أو حجة معي
Sahih Muslim 1256
-with this uncertainty- meaning with him (peace and blessings be upon him). After that, 'Umrah in Dhul-Qa'dah, because all the 'Umrahs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took place in Dhul-Qa'dah. And Allah the Exalted said:
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent patternلَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ
[Al-Ahzab: 21]. And success is from Allah.
