Ruling on repeating 'Umrah multiple times in one day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it permissible for a Muslim to perform 'Umrah five times in one day, circumambulating the Ka'bah, walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, returning to the miqat, and entering the consecrated state of pilgrimage anew, and so on?
Answer: This is not the practice of the righteous Salaf, and it is better to leave it off because of the hardship involved and the crowding it causes for people, especially during the time of Hajj when the crowds are heavy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1349a His meaning (peace and blessings be upon him) is that one should say: Sahih Muslim 1349a And Allah knows best, meaning: in a manner that does not cause hardship or harm to people. For this reason, the Salaf did not do this; the Salaf did not perform two 'Umrahs in one day or in one night, but rather there was some time between them.
So the best and most preferable thing is to leave off 'Umrah during the time of crowding. When there is space, one should perform 'Umrah according to ease, without repeating it every day, but rather leaving some time between them, as the Salaf used to do. And the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1349a should be understood as referring to the customary, known practice where there is some interval between them, some amount of time, such as one 'Umrah every week, or one 'Umrah every month, or one 'Umrah every half month, or something similar, without following one immediately after the other in the same day. Especially when the pilgrims are numerous, for this causes great hardship for people. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), along with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), did not perform 'Umrah after they had finished Hajj. Rather, when he had finished Hajj, he (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed until the night of the fourteenth, then he left Mecca and traveled to Madinah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not repeat 'Umrah. Likewise, when the Companions exited the consecrated state of pilgrimage on the fourth of Dhu al-Hijjah, it has not reached us that any of them set out to perform 'Umrah during those four days to perform a second 'Umrah. That has not reached us, and had they done so, it would have been transmitted to us, to the Muslims.
So the conclusion is that there is no objection to repeating 'Umrah several times in a month or in a week, but in a manner that does not harm the pilgrims, does not cause hardship for people, and does not cause hardship for the person performing 'Umrah himself. Rather, one should observe the legal etiquettes that the Salaf of the Ummah followed. Yes.

An Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next, and Hajj which is accepted will receive no other reward than Paradise.
العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما، والحج المبرور ليس له جزاء إلا الجنةAn Umra is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next
