Prayer and worship in the Holy Land
What is the ruling on performing umrah repeatedly during a single trip?
Answer in brief
Scholars differ on repeating umrah within one trip. Some regard it as contrary to the practice of the Prophet SAW and disliked, while others, including the Shafi'i scholars and some Hanbali scholars, permit it and even recommend performing umrah often. This fatwa adopts the view that it is permissible, based on the general encouragement to increase acts of worship. Extra umrah may be performed with the remaining time in Makkah, provided it does not burden or interfere with the approaching haji rites.
