The Difference Between the Hadith: “An ‘Umrah in Ramadan” and “Hajj is ‘Arafah”

Question:
This questioner says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then he said in another hadith: So what is the difference between the first and the second? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
The virtue of ‘Umrah in Ramadan is well known. An ‘Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to a Hajj, and in one narration: This contains a great virtue, performing ‘Umrah in Ramadan. As for the meaning of it means: that whoever does not stand at ‘Arafah has no Hajj. That is, the majority of Hajj is ‘Arafah. So the one who performs Hajj but does not stand at ‘Arafah has no Hajj. It is necessary to stand at ‘Arafah. That is, the majority of Hajj and its greatest pillar is ‘Arafah.
So if he stoned the pillars, and remained in Mina, and went to Muzdalifah; he has no Hajj unless he stands at ‘Arafah on the Day of ‘Arafah, or the Night of Sacrifice. He has no Hajj except with ‘Arafah. So if, for example, he left off standing at ‘Arafah both night and day; he has no Hajj. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
