Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In the month of Ramadan, the reward for every deed increases. In the same way, the reward for performing umrah also increases and becomes equal to that of hajj.

➋ If one gets the opportunity in the month of Ramadan, one should definitely perform umrah.

➌ This umrah is equal to hajj in terms of reward. However, it is not a substitute for the obligatory hajj. The person upon whom hajj is obligatory must perform hajj itself; the obligation of hajj is not fulfilled by performing umrah in Ramadan.
