The questioner : What is the ruling on repeating 'Umrah in a single trip?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Repeating 'Umrah in a single trip?
The Shaykh : Repeating 'Umrah in a single trip is a religious innovation, unless there is, I mean, a dire necessity. Close the door, my brother. Close the door.
The questioner : I mean, a person who has saved up money but could only afford to go once, and for example, his father and mother have passed away, and he wants to perform 'Umrah on their behalf.
The Shaykh : Pardon me, I did not pay attention to your first words.
The questioner : If, for example, a person from a faraway country comes, and his father and mother have passed away, and he wants to perform 'Umrah on their behalf.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : In a single trip, and he is unable, for example, to have the means to go other times.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Is it permissible for him, I mean, to perform 'Umrah three times, for example, one 'Umrah for himself and two for them?
The Shaykh : I referred to this, except if there is a dire necessity. In that case, we say, within the limits of the restrictions and conditions you mentioned, such as a long distance and the fact that it is not easy for him to find such excuses, and Allah knows best if they are valid. But every question has an answer, so we say in that case, he returns to his miqat and performs 'Umrah there on behalf of his father or his mother.
The questioner : From the same miqat, yes.
The Shaykh : From the same miqat.
The Shaykh : How?
