Umrah in Ramazan is
equivalent to Hajj which is the greater Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca. The prophet (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) himself insisted on the importance of the
performance of Umrah during the holy month of Ramadan for that month has got
various virtues and it is high in merit and excellence.
Al-Bukhari
(1782) and Muslim (1256) narrated that once Ibn Abbaas said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to a woman from among
the Ansaar – Ibn Abbaas mentioned her name but I forgot it – “What kept you from performing Hajj
with us?” She said: We only have
two camels and the father of her son and her son had gone for Hajj on one
camel, and he left us the other camel so that we could carry water on it. He
said: “When Ramadan comes, go for
Umrah, for Umrah in (that month) is equivalent to Hajj.”
