Umrah in Hadith mentioned multiple times; Where the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) spoke about its virtues, rewards, rules, And others.
The Virtue and Reward of Umrah in Hadith
Firstly, Here are the Umrah virtues mentioned in the hadith:
Forgiveness and Demise of Sins
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: The prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said:
“Umrah to Umrah is an expiation for what is between them, and an accepted pilgrimage has no reward except Paradise.”
[Narrated by Bukhari]
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
“العمرة إلى العمرة كفارة لما بينهما، والحج المبرور ليس له جزاء إلا الجنة”. [رواه البخاري]
Honoring Allah for His Guests
Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) said:
“The invader for the sake of Allah, the Hajj and the Umrah performer, the delegation of Allah called them, and they answered him.”
[Narrated by Ibn Majah and classed as Hasan by Al-Albani]
قال صلى الله عليه وسلم:
” الغازي في سبيل الله والحاج والمعتمر وفد الله دعاهم فأجابوه وسألوه فأعطاهم ” [رواه ابن ماجه وحسنه الألباني]
The Virtue of Circumambulation
Circumambulation around Kaaba during umrah has a big Virtue in Islam, to clarify;
Ibn Omar said that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
“Whoever circumambulates the Kaaba, he does not raise one foot and does not put another foot down, except that Allah writes for him a good deed, erases a sin from him for it, and raises him a degree for it.”
[Narrated by Ahmed, Al-Tirmidhi, Al-Hakim, Ibn Khuzaymah, nd classed as Hasan by Sheikh Ahmed Shaker]
عن ابن عمر عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال:
“من طاف بالبيت، لم يرفع قدمًا ولم يضع أخرى إلا كتب الله له حسنة، وحط عنه بها خطيئة ورفع له بها درجة”.
[رواه أحمد والترمذي والحاكم وابن خزيمة وحسنه الشيخ أحمد شاكر]
Umrah in Hadith
Moreover, other things mentioned about Umrah in hadith:
Women’s Umrah
Aisha said:
“I said: O Prophet (pbuh), is there jihad for women? He said: Yes, they have jihad in which there is no fighting: Hajj and Umrah.”
[Narrated by Ahmed and Ibn Majah, and the wording is his, and its chain of transmission is authentic, and its origin is in the Sahih].
قالت عائشة:
“قلت: يا رسول لله، على النساء جهاد؟ قال: نعم عليهن جهاد لا قتال فيه: الحج والعمرة.”
[رواه أحمد وابن ماجه واللفظ له، وإسناده صحيح، وأصله في الصحيح].
In other words, Performing Umrah for women is like Jihad.
Time to Perform Umrah
You can perform Umrah anytime you like; during the day or night, or any day of the week you want,
as a result of Jubair bin Mutim saying that the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
“Do not prevent anyone from circumambulating this House (Kaaba) and praying at any hour of the day or night.”
[Sunan Abi Dawud – Authenticated by Al-Albani].
جبير بن مطعم يبلغ به ,أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
“لا تمنعوا أحدًا يطوف بهذا البيت ويصلّي أي ساعة شاء من ليل أو نهار”.
[ سنن أبي داوود – صححه الألباني].
Rules of Umrah in Hadith
Hadiths mentioned many of the prohibitions or rules of Umrah, For example:
Using Perfume or Scent
While you are in Ihram state you can not use perfume or scent, as a result of hadith:
Ibn Omar narrated what the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said about Muslims in Ihram state:
“He should not wear a garment that has been touched with wars (A plant used to dye clothes) or saffron”
[Narrated by Bukhari]
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما في أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم قال في المُحْرِم:
“لا يلبس ثوباً مسه ورسٌ ولا زعفران” [رواه البخاري]
You Can Not Get Married
During you are in Ihram state you can not get married, for the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said:
“A person in Ihram state is not to be married, not to get someone else married, or be engaged.”
[narrated by Muslim]
لقوله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
“لا يَنْكِحُ المحرم ولا يُنْكَح ولا يخطُب”
[رواه مسلم]
To sum up,
Hadith is a very important resource for Umrah rules, prohibitions, rites, and definitions,
and that’s why you must go back to the Qur’an and hadith to find out what you desire about Umrah.
