Summary
Hajj and Umrah are obligatory once in a lifetime for every accountable Muslim who has the means. Repeating them is recommended, especially for those with ample sufficiency and ability. The text notes that an accepted Hajj is rewarded with Paradise, and Umrah performed repeatedly expiates minor sins committed between the visits.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
