Question:
What is the meaning of the hadith, “Umrah in Ramadan is the equivalent of Hajj”? Does it mean in regards to its merit and reward?
Answer:
Yes, the meaning is in regards to the merit and its reward. It does not mean that this Umrah removes the obligaton of the Hajj of Islam (in one’s lifetime).
