Umrah In Ramadan:

Compiled in Abu-Dawud's , "The Rites of Hajj", (Book 10), Hadeeth narrated by Abdullah Ibn Abbas , Prophet Muhammad, (pbuh) has said:

"To perform Umrah in Ramadan is like performing Hajj in my company."

Although, the reward for performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal in reward to a Hajj. It is NOT a substitute for Hajj. Hajj is the obligatory once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage.

Umrah Travel:

Umrah travel and arrangements are very similar to Hajj travel and arrangements.

Umrah Notes:

Refer to Other Books/Videos with DETAILED information about Hajj & Umrah.

You are advised to select authentic books that conform to your "madhab".
