Summary
The Federal Territory Syariah Legal Consultative Committee, meeting on 23 April 1980, ruled that performing umrah without performing the obligatory hajj in the same year is permissible. Performing umrah before having done the obligatory hajj does not go against the requirements of Islam. Hajj remains obligatory on Muslim men and women who meet its conditions, at least once in a lifetime.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
