from UK, wearing Ihram before miqaat near Judah airport. After doing
our Umrah, if we wish to do Umrah for one or both of our deceased
parents (oneson does for one parent and the other for the second
parent), which miqaat will go to, to do our intention for Umrah on
behalf of our parents? Do we also have to changeour Ihrams for
repeating the Umrah for parents?.
Praise be to Allaah.
First:
Repetition of 'Umrah for the Muslim in one journey,either for himself
or on behalf of someone else, is not from the Sunnah of the Prophet
(may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) nor his Companions (may
Allah bepleased with them) nor was it from the guidance of the pious
predecessors. The basic principle is that for each 'Umrah there is a
separate journey.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al Ma'aad (2/ 89-90):
"None of his (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) 'Umrahs
were performed by leaving Makkah as many people do today. Rather, all
his 'Umrahs were done while entering Makkah. He remained in Makkah for
thirteen years after the revelation was first sent down and it has not
been reported that he did 'Umrah by leaving Makkahduring that time.
The 'Umrah which the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and
blessingsbe upon him) performed and prescribed was the 'Umrah for one
entering Makkah, not the the 'Umrah of one who is already in Makkah,
then leaves the "sanctuary" to return for an 'Umrah. In his time, only
A'ishah did this and it was due to a specific situation; that is, she
had the intention of performing 'Umrah, but her menses occurred. The
Messenger of Allah ordered her to do the Hajj with 'Umrah, and thus
she performed Hajj Qiran (a type of Hajj where Hajj and 'Umrah are
done with one ihram).
He informed her that the tawaf (circumambulation) around the House and
walking between Safa andMarwah counted for both the Hajj and 'Umrah.
However, she felt somewhat upset that her friends (other women) would
return having performed Hajj and 'Umrah separately, as theyperformed
Hajj Tamattu' and did not menstruate during that time; whereas A'ishah
performed Hajj Qiran and her 'Umrah was included within her Hajj.
The Messenger of Allah then ordered A'ishah's brother to take her out
to Tan'eem, and return to Makkah in order to perform her 'Umrah and
tomake her feel better.
However, he did not perform 'Umrah from at-Tan'eem during that Hajj
not did anyone else who was with him." End quote
Second:
The majority of scholars have allowed one who performs 'Umrah to
perform another one during the same journey, especially if he is from
outside Makkah and it is a long journey and difficult to return once
more. In that case, he has to leave to the nearest place outside the
"sanctuary" in order to get into ihram forthe other 'Umrah.
Al-Bukhari (1215) and Muslim (1211) report from'Aishah (may Allah be
pleased with her) that she said: "O Messenger of Allah, you did 'Umrah
and I did not. He said: O Abdur-Rahman, take your sister and make her
perform the'Umrah from at-Tan'eem. So he took her on his camel and she
performed the 'Umrah."
In another narration foundin Bukhari and Muslim, theProphet (may
Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to Abdur-Rahman: "Leave
the sanctuary with your sister and let her intend 'Umrah."
Al-Imam an-Nawawi said in his commentary on Sahih Muslim (8/ 210):
"'Leave the sanctuary withyour sister and let her intend 'Umrah' in
this is evidence for what the scholars said: That one who is in Makkah
and wants to perform 'Umrah, then his meeqat (boundary) for it is the
closest area outside the sanctuary and it is not allowed for him to
don the ihram within the sanctuary (haram). The scholars said: It is
incumbent to leave the sanctuary so as to combine between the
areaoutside the sanctuary and the sanctuary as the pilgrim does, for
he standsin 'Arafah (which is outsidethe sanctuary), then entersMakkah
for the tawaf (circumambulation) and other acts.
