Question 109321

What is the ruling on doing ‘umrah more than once in a year?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

The correct view is that it is permissible to repeat ‘umrah more than once in a year, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “From one ‘umrah to another is expiation for whatever (sins) come in between them, and an accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise.” Saheeh – agreed upon. 

And Allah is the Source of strength. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
