Q 4: Is it true that whoever stays away from
Makkah
for forty days should make `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) upon entering Makkah even if he performed `Umrah several times before?
A:
`Umrah is obligatory on a Mukallaf (person meeting the conditions to be held legally accountable for their actions) only once in one's lifetime when a person is (Part No. 10; Page No. 21) physically and financially able. Any other performance of `Umrah is only Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet).
Moreover, performance of `Umrah is permissible at any time of the year, as no specific time is prescribed exclusively for doing it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
