Umrah without ajj?

Shaykh Mehmet Adil Al-Haqqani, Sohbet of the 17th of September, 2016.

As-salmu alaykum wa ramatu Llhi wa baraktuh. Adhu biLlhi mina sh-shayni rrajm. Bismi Llhi r-Ramni r-Ram. A-altu wa s-salmu al Raslin Muammadin
Sayyidi l-awwalna wa l-khirn. Madad y Rasla Llh, madad y Sdti Abi Rasli

Muammad Nim al-aqqn. Madad. arqatun -ubah wa l-khayru fi l-jamiyyah.
We have to beware of things that Allh (jj) has forbidden. You can't say it is permissible. We
can't say permissible for the things that Allh (jj) has forbidden. Forbidden things are clear.
We understand that. It is also wrong to say forbidden to the things that are permissible. That
is also a sin. So we need to ask about things that we don't know about sharah and religion.
We can't say "we thought this could be..." If you aren't sure you shouldn't say it. Or you
should say "I guess it is like this, but let's ask if it is permissible or forbidden." You need to
double check because if you say forbidden to a permissible thing you'll commit a sin.
Someone won't do it because it is forbidden, then someone else won't do it, then permissible
things will seem as forbidden, which is not ok.
Our brothers came, they are going to umrah. They are asking: "Can we go to umrah before
going to ajj?" If they have money, ajj is a far (obligation). If they have money enough only
to make ajj, umrah isn't a far. ajj is far. Going to umrah in unnecessary. Because what
does it mean it is far on you? If you don't do far, you commit a sin. Because people don't
understand that ajj is a far, we need to do it. They think if you can do it, do it. If you can't,
don't do it. It is one of the five pillars of Islm. If you have money, it is far to do it. It is ok if
you don't do umrah. Or you have money and go to umrah now. At ajj season, you go to
ajj. In some countries you can go to ajj whenever you want. It is definitely far for you. But
in countries, that draw lots, now all Muslim countries are like that because there isn't enough
quota. You can go only if your turn comes in five, ten years. If this is the case, it isn't your
fault. If Allh (jj) didn't give you that much life you aren't accountable for that sin. Because
you registered, you want to go but it isn't your turn, you can't go otherwise. So that alters the
case. Then you can go to umrah if you like.
But it is an important issue is umrah before ajj forbidden or not? It is not a sin but like we
said if you have money enough only for ajj, no for you. If you saved that money and there is
no obstacle, first you have to go to ajj. If you still have money left you can go to umrah
whenever and as much as you want. This is an important matter because people don't place
importance on ajj. This is the problem. We saw people couldn't go to ajj. Mawln used to
say; "If you start saving money today, put a money box. Say I'm doing a separate money box
for ajj. Put five lira, ten lira as much as you can. How many years it will take to make that
money you can go to ajj with Allh's permission." Many people went to ajj with this good
advice of Mawln. But with the money you saved, if you say "I couldn't go to ajj, I can go

to umrah" you will run out of money again, you can't go to ajj. That's why people, who
don't have chance to go to ajj they should save that money for ajj. If you can't go the first
year, you'll go the second year. If not whenever you have money, you'll do that far. You'll
get that reward.
Doing the far of ajj even if you do a hundred thousand nfilah it won't take the place of
one far. Far is important. So you need to be careful about religious matters. You can't
decide yourself. It isn't right to listen to what people say. First we try to complete the far, in
sha Llh. May Allh (jj) destine it for everyone in sha Llh.
In our religion, Islm religion it is very sensitive and very top of the best system Allh He is
creator, He create this, the last religion Islm. He said "today I complete your religion." The
end, no more Prophet, so it must be perfect. And it is perfect. And everything clear there.
What is good what is not good, what is sin, what is all, arm. all ne demek? What is
forbidden and what is not forbidden it is clearly open. So to say for forbidden thing by the
Lord Allh (awj) it is not forbidden it is sin, you cannot say this. For forbidden bad thing it is
good and it is allowed to do it - we cannot say this. At least everybody they know this, but
there is another thing also: to say for thing that Allh allowed to do it and it is, you can do it,
it is not allowed to do, and it is sin to do. It is also sin for who are saying this, wrong thing
this! For allowed, Allh allowed to do this and He is not forbidden, you cannot say it is
forbidden. It is same wrong as you are doing wrong because you are mixing what Allh He
put this system, so you are saying opposite. It is also big wrong and sin to say this.
Everything you must be follow and if sometimes maybe you see something you think it is
good, you give your opinion - "this is my opinion and I think it is good." But you must say "maybe I am wrong, we must look also for this." When you say this ok, but "O not my
opinion it is ok, you can do it" you say, it is not allowed to - wrong this is. Every time you
must... because human being he has many times saying wrong thing, thinking wrong thing.
So we mustn't put ourself in risk. You must say it is "we don't know, we must look it look like
right, look like it is wrong." Don't make it absolute.
And, today Shaykh Abdul Aad, Abdul Wid, he said, asking about umrah... How it is
allowed to go for people who are not going for ajj? It is allowed to go to umrah without
ajj? And it is he said, this every good question, because many people they're doing by their...
just without asking, without... they going umrah, they're going without asking. And even
many times they're asking Mawln, and Mawln he was not giving permission, they are
going without permission also. He asked this very good...and it is obligatory to go to ajj, not
to umrah. If somebody he hasn't been in ajj, once in the life he must be going to ajj,
pilgrimage. After he can every time he can anytime he can go if he like. But who are....has
money and his health everything good, first he must go to ajj. But if he not have money
enough - Mawln many times he was saying for people, "you must put everyday one place,
one corner, box - this only for ajj. Put one euro, two, five pound, ten pound, as much as you
can, and in one year, two years when it is enough for you to go to ajj. First go to ajj. But

who has money and he want to go umrah and he can go to ajj - this we cannot say anything
for him. Ok he can go umrah. After he can go to ajj.
But for people not going for ajj and especially for Muslim in Europe or America, it is easy
for them anytime they can go, any years they can go to ajj. Not like our country. In our
country we know people nine years still waiting for lottery. Not coming for them. For these
people obligatory to make obligatory, very important. Obligatory it is better than 100.000
Nfilah, you do. If you do 1000 times umrah and not doing ajj, it is not [equal to] one ajj
even. And when you go to ajj also after ajj every time now there's ajj and umrah. Same
time they can do. For this we are saying who are, they didn't go to ajj before, better for
them, make ajj first. But as we said, if they have enough money to go umrah and ajj, they
can. Somebody saying it is arm to make umrah, but not arm. Better if they don't have
money to collect money. But if they know they don't have, it is not obligatory for people who
are not, to get money. Until your money to complete for ajj, you are not responsible. But if
you have money and you didn't go you have responsibility. But for ladies also Allh make for
them to be with husband or relative so for them easier. But for men, it is not like this, he must
go.
Allh, in sha Llh, make it easy for everybody. It is nice worshipping, nice to be in front of
Kabah and this. Araft, the day when Allh (awj) looking for people it is really good thing to
be there. It is really important thing. Don't make seeing it as nothing. No. It is very
important, because once in life people they are, many people, even every Muslim, somebody
saying: "we are going when we are old. We are young still." But no, it is better to be in, when
you are strong, not to be weak. Allh give everybody this nice visit for ajj, in sha Llh.
Wa min Allhi t-tawfq, al-Ftiah.
