Summary
Scholars differ: some regard it as contrary to the Prophet's practice and disliked, while Shafi'i scholars and some Hanbali scholars permit it and even regard it as recommended. The view favoured is that repeated umrah within one trip or one hajj season is permissible, based on the general encouragement to increase acts of worship. The condition is that it must not burden pilgrims or disrupt the hajj rites that are drawing near.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami mentarjihkan pandangan yang mengharuskan umrah berulang kali dalam satu perjalanan atau dalam satu musim haji.
