Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner Abu Ahmad has a set of questions. In this question, he asks: What is the ruling on 'Umrah? Is it obligatory for a person once in a lifetime, or is it a recommended practice?
Answer:
'Umrah is obligatory for every person of legal age who is able to perform it, according to the correct of the two opinions of the scholars. 'Umrah is obligatory for the male and female of legal age if they are able to do so, just as Hajj is; because of his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of 'Umar when he asked him about Islam, he said:Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 7:528 It was narrated by al-Daraqutni and Ibn Khuzaymah with a sound chain of narration. And he said to 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her): Sunan Ibn Majah 2901Sahih (Darussalam).
So Hajj and 'Umrah are obligatory for men and women once in a lifetime, provided they have the ability. This is the correct view, and this includes the people of Makkah and others. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

أن تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدًا رسول الله، وأن تقيم الصلاة وتؤتي الزكاة، وتصوم رمضان وتحج وتعتمرUpon them is a Jihad in which there is no fighting: Al-Hajj and Al-‘Umrah.
