Maybe twice. Maybe five times. But have you performed **Hajj?** We need to understand the difference between the two. **Hajj is an obligation. It is one of the five pillars of Islaam.** ‘Umrah, despite its tremendous virtue and reward, is **not one of the five pillars of Islaam**. Some may say, “But Hajj is expensive. ‘Umrah is much easier and cheaper.” Yes—but that doesn't automatically make repeated ‘Umrah a substitute for Hajj. If you have already spent money performing ‘Umrah multiple times, ask yourself honestly: **Could some of that money have been saved towards fulfilling the obligation of Hajj?** The issue isn't that ‘Umrah is bad. Wallahi, ‘Umrah is a tremendous act of worship. The issue is **priorities**. If Allaah has given you the ability to perform Hajj, don't keep postponing an obligation while repeatedly doing something that is not obligatory. And if you genuinely cannot afford Hajj or are not physically able to perform it, then that's a different matter. Allaah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. But if you are able to go... **Don't let 'Umrah become the reason you keep delaying Hajj.** Fulfil the obligation first. May Allaah grant us the ability to perform Hajj and ‘Umrah sincerely for His sake, accept our worship, and make the journey easy for those who have not yet fulfilled this obligation. Aameen.
