Not Compulsory on the Person Who Performed ‘Umrah after Ramadan to Perform Hajj

5-10-2003 | IslamWeb

Question:

I want to make Umrah 20 days after Ramadan and I heard if I make Umrah after Ramadan Hajj becomes obligatory and I can't make Hajj this year, so can I make Umrah after Ramadan without performing Hajj?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

It is not compulsory on the person who performed ‘Umrah during the months of Hajj (Shawwaal, Thul-Qi’dah and Thul-Hijjah) to perform Hajj too. So, what you were told is not correct.

Allah knows best.
