It is better to repeat ‘Umrah or give charity?
How many times is it recommended for a well-off person to perform ‘Umrah during a year? My husband performs lots of Hajj and ‘Umrah, but I advise him to give to charity the costs of ‘Umrah- that may reach five thousand Riyals- instead of making other ‘Umrahs. There are other acts of worship that he can do where he lives. I should say that he gives a lot to charity. However, I think a lot about the overcrowding in the Sacred Mosque. Many people go there once during their lifetime and because of the overcrowding a person cannot perform the rites with comfort and submissiveness. I wish that Hajj and ‘Umrah would be organized in such a way that priority is given to the people who come for the first time. I hope also the number of pilgrims will not be more than two millions. One final thing, some Muslims perform lots of Hajj and ‘Umrah, but at the same time at work, they do not give due care to their work; at home, they do not bring up their children properly; and they are not fair in their

Scholars stated that making Hajj and ‘Umrah as well is better than giving its costs in to charity unless it is for needy relatives or people who urgently need aid. In this case charity has the priority over ‘Umrah. If your husband spends some of his money on other acts of worship that extend to others, such as supporting students to learn Sharee‘ah and schools that teach students the Quran, it would be better for him than doing such acts of worship whose benefit is restricted to him. Hajj organizers make due arrangements to help prevent harms resulting from overcrowding, including controlling the number of pilgrims. As for the contradiction that is seen in many people, it should be corrected by giving advice to the person involved. A person who neglects a certain aspect should be enjoined to do good and forbidden to do evil. He also should be reminded of the obligations to achieve balance, because all the Commands of Allaah The Almighty must be obeyed. We supplicate Allaah to guide all Muslims to what is best for them and grant them success.
