Determining the time interval between two 'Umrahs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a time interval between two 'Umrahs, Your Eminence?

The Shaykh:
There is no interval, as far as we know from the Shari'ah. As for the statement of some laypeople that it must be forty days, there is no basis for it. The point is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) issued the command in general terms, saying:
An Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the nextالعمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما
Sahih Muslim 1349a
and he did not specify a known number of days. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) performed two 'Umrahs in one month, in less than twenty days. She entered the state of 'Umrah on the fourth of Dhul-Hijjah and exited from it, along with her Hajj, on the day of 'Id with the people. Then, on the night of al-Husba, when they descended on the night of the fourteenth, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to perform 'Umrah. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent her from al-Tan'im and sent her brother 'Abd al-Rahman with her. She had already performed 'Umrah with her Hajj, so it became two 'Umrahs in less than twenty days. Yes.

The presenter: This is evidence that it is not required that there be...

The Shaykh: forty days between them, nor more, nor less. There is no evidence for a specific number of days between two 'Umrahs. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
