The virtue of 'Umrah during Ramadhan is not restricted to some particular Days
Question :
Is the virtue of 'Umrah during Ramadhan restricted to the beginning of the month or middle of it or the end of it?
Answer:
'Umrah during Ramadhan is not restricted to its begin- ning, its middle or its end. It is general, including the first of the month, its middle and its end. This is due to the Prophet's statement:
"An 'Umrah in Ramadhan is equal to a Hajj."
And he did not restrict it. Thus, if a man travels in Ramadhan and performs 'Umrah during it, he is like someone who performs Hajj. I will stop here to inform the brothers who go to Makkah to perform 'Umrah, and among them there are those who come before Ramadhan by a day or two. So, this person will perform 'Umrah before the beginning of the month, and therefore he will not get the reward that is gained by someone who offers 'Umrah in Ramadhan.
So, if he delays his trip so that the day of his Ihram for 'Umrah is during Ramadhan, that is better and more preferred. Likewise , we find that some of the people who come in the beginning of the month, go out to At-Tan'im when the middle of the month comes and they perform another 'Umrah. Then, at the end of the month also, they go out to At-Tan'im and perform a third 'Umrah. This is an act that has no basis for it in the Islamic law. For verily, the Prophet ﷺ stayed in Makkah for 19 days during the year of the Conquest, and he did not go out to At-Tan'im to perform 'Umrah. This is along with considering that he conquered Makkah during Ramadhan and he did not go to At- Tan'im after the fighting to perform 'Umrah. Rather, he performed 'Umrah in Thul-Qa'dah when he returned from the expedition of At-Ta'if, and he stayed at Al-Ji'ranah and he divided the war booty there. Then, that night he entered Makkah and performed 'Umrah from Al-Ji'ranah. Then, during that same night he left.
In this there is an evidence that the person should not leave Makkah in order to perform 'Umrah from At-Tan'im or any other place outside of the Sacred Area. This is because if this was an act of good, the first of the people to do it and the one with the most right to do it would be the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Because we know that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was the most eager of the people in doing the good and because the Prophet ﷺ was the one who legislated and conveyed (the guidance) from Allâh. If this was from the legislated matters, the Prophet ﷺ would have explained it to his Ummah, either by his statement or by his action or by his approval, and all of this did not occur. And following (the Prophet ﷺ), even if it is in a small amount of actions, is better than innovating, whether it is a little or a lot.
