عَنْ أُمِّ مَعْقِلٍ الْأَسَدِيَّةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا جَعَلَ بَكْرًا لَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَنَّهَا أَرَادَتِ الْعُمْرَةَ فَسَأَلَتْ زَوْجَهَا الْبَكْرَ فَأَبَى، فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهَا، وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((الْحَجُّ وَالْعُمْرَةُ مِنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ))، وَقَالَ: ((عُمْرَةٌ فِي رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً أَوْ تُجْزِئُ حَجَّةً))، وَقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ: ((تَعْدِلُ بِحَجَّةٍ أَوْ تُجْزِئُ بِحَجَّةٍ))
Lady Umm Ma'qil Asadiyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: My husband dedicated a young camel in the way of Allah, while I wanted to go for Umrah, so I asked my husband for that camel, but he refused to give it. When I mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he ordered my husband to give me the camel. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hajj and Umrah are also in the way of Allah. He also said: Performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal to Hajj.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha that she asked the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam: O Messenger of Allah! Is jihad obligatory upon women? He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied: ((Yes, jihad is obligatory upon them, but there is no fighting in it, that is, Hajj and Umrah.)) … “Yes, jihad is obligatory upon women, but there is no fighting in it, meaning Hajj and Umrah.” (Ibn Majah: 2901) From this, it is understood that the term “in the way of Allah” (fi sabilillah) can also be applied to Hajj and Umrah.
Performing Umrah in Ramadan brings the reward of Hajj. But this does not mean that if Hajj was obligatory upon the one performing Umrah, then this Umrah will be considered as the fulfillment of his Hajj. Receiving the reward is one thing, and the fulfillment of an obligation is another matter entirely. For example, if a person offers prayer in congregation, he will receive twenty-five or twenty-seven times the reward. But this does not mean that his prayers for the next five days have been fulfilled and he no longer needs to pray for those days—absolutely not. (Abdullah Rafiq)
