Q 2: If a person performs `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) on a Friday of any month and wants to go to another place outside Makkah, but two or three days later the person returns to Makkah and wants to perform another `Umrah, is it permissible for them to perform a second `Umrah without wearing Ihram (garment worn during the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah)?

A 2: Whoever wishes to perform `Umrah must assume the state of Ihram (the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) from the Miqat (site for entering into the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) they enter into Makkah from. It is not permissible for a Muslim to pass the Miqat without assuming the state of Ihram as the Prophet (peace be upon him) set these Miqats so that those who intend to perform Hajj or `Umrah assume the state of Ihram from these Miqats; whether it is for the first `Umrah, the second, or more. As for one staying at a place within the Miqats, they can assume the state of Ihram from the place where they declare their intention to perform `Umrah. However, if they are staying in Makkah, they must go to Al-Hil (all areas outside the Sacred Precincts of Makkah) to assume the state of Ihram for `Umrah as done by `Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered her to do so.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
