The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, how do we respond to the one who cites the hadith of Ibn 'Umar to argue that 'Umrah is not obligatory, and also cites the saying of Allah the Exalted [Ali 'Imran 3:97] to argue that 'Umrah is not obligatory? The hadith of Ibn 'Umar is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said and he mentioned Hajj in it but not 'Umrah.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : He mentioned Hajj in it but not 'Umrah.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Among the pillars of Islam, it is more authentic than the other hadith, the hadith of 'Aishah.
The Shaykh : But the silence regarding it does not negate its obligation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saidJami` at-Tirmidhi 932Sahih (Darussalam) and he said so it is a type of Hajj.
The questioner : The other hadith is the hadith of the BedouinBulugh al-Maram 710.
