Fatwa CenterHadith Concerning Two Umrahs Equal to One Hajj
Question
my question is regarding umrah. I have heard the reward of performing 2 umrah's is equal to one hajj. can you please confirm if its true. I had performed umrah in 2023 and now intending to do another one soon.
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 
is His slave and Messenger.
A hadith recorded by Ali Ibn Muhammad Al-Humayri, 
in his Juz' indicates that two Umrahs equal the reward of one Hajj. He narrated a hadith from Abu Hurayrah 
that the Prophet said: "Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur (that which is accepted by Allah, done sincerely for His sake, free of sin, and according to the Sunnah) has no reward but Paradise, and two Umrahs are a Hajj."
However, we have not found any statement from the scholars grading this hadith as authentic or weak. The hadith is established in the two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah without the words "and two Umrahs are a Hajj." Its wording is that the Messenger of Allah said: "One Umrah to the next is an expiation for what lies between them, and Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur has no reward but Paradise."
This hadith points to the merit of repeating Umrah, and other authentic hadiths have come about its virtue, among them: "Follow Hajj with Umrah and Umrah with Hajj, for they drive out poverty and sins as the bellows drive the dross from iron, gold, and silver; and Al-Hajj Al-Mabrur has no reward but Paradise." This was narrated by Ahmad, Al-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, and others 
.
