Therefore, every Muslim wishes to perform Umrah in Ramadan to please Allah (SWT). Hence, you will see a huge number of pilgrims in Saudi Arabia this month. In fact, 9 million Muslims availed of Ramadan Umrah packages and travelled to Haram in Ramadan last year.
Now, this is a huge number and managing such a big crowd could be quite a headache for authorities. Therefore, they have devised some rules for Muslims who are travelling for Umrah in Ramadan. This article will throw light on “How many Umrahs can you do in Ramadan” and offer you a comprehensive guide on all the regulations set by Saudis. Let’s have a look:
Benefits of Performing Multiple Umrahs
Innately, the Umrah prayer offers various perks and benefits. For example, the reward of an acceptable Umrah is equal to performing Jihad and the pilgrimage is considered the servant of Allah. Therefore, it is natural for a Muslim to wish for multiple Umrah, with the perks mentioned below:
Enhanced Rewards
One of the obvious benefits is that the rewards or blessings will be increased. Although there is no specific Nabwi narration that has mentioned this thing, many hints say that the prize will be multiplied in terms of both quality and quantity. In fact, a narration by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) mentions that performing Umrah in Ramadan is equal to Hajj with him (in terms of rewards).
Spiritual Cleaning
But the perks of a full month of Ramadan Umrah are not only limited to just rewards; it is also an opportunity for you to cleanse your soul. You can ask as much as forgiveness and purify yourself from sins.
Faith Strengthening
The benefit of multiple Umrahs is that it reinforces your faith. When you repeatedly get involved in the same good deeds, this strengthens your devotion. It also offers you a chance to continually offer prayer in front of Allah (SWT) and re-establish your links with Him.
Personal Growth
Continually repeating the same task in a disciplined manner promotes personal growth. It produces patience, perseverance, and a deeper understanding of faith in a Muslim.
Things to Know Before Opting for Multiple Umrahs
If you are planning to perform multiple Ramadan Umrahs, there are certain things that you need to understand. A brief guide, addressing this issue Islamically and with authority, is given below:
Islamic Perspective
According to the POV of Islam, there is no prohibition on making multiple Umrahs. You can perform repeated Umrahs, whether in one month or even in one day. If one looks at the Quran, one will not find a direct call to make multiple Umrahs; what one finds is an elevation of the importance of Umrah and Hajj.
But if you look at the Hadith of the Holy Prophet, you will realise that his highness (SAW) has performed several Umrahs in his lifetime. This shows the importance and the spiritual value of these prayers.
In addition to that, we have a holy narration in support of the performance of repeated Umrahs. In one instance, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) allowed Aisha (RA) to go for repeated Umrahs from a point called Tan’eem (now: Masjid-e-Ayesha). This goes a long way to show why people are encouraged to make multiple Umrahs.
Likewise, most scholars have conceded that one can perform Umrah at once, particularly those who have travelled a long distance. In addition to that, you can even go for other acts along with the Umrah, such as more Tawaf, prayers, or remembering Allah.
Current Practices and Regulations
However, when it comes to limitations or rules of the Saudi govt., there is a different story. As it is permissible in Islam to perform many Umrahs, the local authority has restricted this prayer to only one Umrah. This is done to maintain the demand and also to regulate the influx of people that come for pilgrimage to avoid chaos. This is because at peak time, there are hundreds and thousands of people entering Haram, and handling every one of them is not possible.
To make sure that every pilgrim does not exceed the above limit set by the authorities, it is now mandatory to have a valid permit for Umrah. You can get this permit through the Nusuk app, or you can book a full month Ramadan Umrah package from the UK that includes this pass. This permit would be produced at certain stations or when the officials in Haram demand it.
Additional Considerations
The above discussion highlights the aspect that multiple Umrahs are allowed in Islam, but they are not permitted by the local officials. In order to have a smooth experience, you need to keep in mind the following considerations:
How to Register via the Nusuk App for Ramadan Umrah?
Registering via the Nusuk app for Ramadan Umrah is quite a simple process. The below-given points will guide you on how you can accomplish this deed effectively:
- Step 1: Download the Nusuk app from the Play Store or App Store.

Can I Change the Data for Umrah During Ramadan?
If you have applied for Umrah travel via the Nusuk app, you can’t change or modify your booking. However, you can delete the already-made permit, before the selected date. Then, you can apply for a new pass. However, the allowance of a new permit depends on its availability.
What is the Cost of Umrah in Ramadan?
The cost of Umrah in Ramadan varies between £1200 – £1300 per person for a tour of 10 days. However, this price heavily depends on a range of factors, including the type of package you have selected. For instance, a 5-star Ramadan Umrah cost would be around £2145 per person for 10 days. On the other hand, 4-star and 3-star are priced at £1600 and £1305 per person, respectively.
How Many Umrahs did the Prophet (PBUH) Perform?
The Prophet (PBUH) performed 4 Umrahs in his lifetime. Three of them were in Dhul-Qi’dah and one he did with his final Hajj. These are named below:
- Umrah of Hudaybiyah
- Umrah to Make Up for a Missed Umrah
- Umrah Combined with Hajj
- Umrah from Al-Ji’ranah
What is the Best Time to Do Umrah in Ramadan?
The best time to do Umrah in Ramadan is during the last 10 days. This is because a new spiritual wave can be felt in the atmosphere, where people try to get as much reward as they can before Ramadan ends.
