Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In your second question, you ask: Does the 'Umrah on the twenty-seventh of Ramadan have a virtue over the other days of Ramadan?
Answer:
Its virtue is that it may coincide with the Night of Decree; because the night of the twenty-seventh is the most likely of the nights to be the Night of Decree. So people strive for it, hoping that this night will coincide with it, so that it becomes better than a thousand 'Umrahs, as He said (Exalted and Majestic is He):[Al-Qadr 97:3] This is the reason people seek out this night. However, it is not recommended if there is crowding and hardship; it is not recommended. Because the Night of Decree is not known for certain; it may be on the night of the twenty-seventh, or it may be on another night.
And even if it were on the night of the twenty-seventh, the crowding that harms people is not recommended and is not permissible. It is not permissible to risk oneself, or one's wife, in a crowd hoping for the Night of Decree. The matter in it is broad, and it is not something obligatory. Praise be to Allah if he coincided with it, or if he did not coincide with it, he has a great reward in the 'Umrah, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
