Question: Is ‘Umrah mustahabb during the last ten days of Ramadaan?.

Answer: Praise be to Allaah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged us to perform ‘Umrah in the month of Ramadaan. Al-Bukhaari (1782) and Muslim (1256) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “ ‘Umrah in Ramadaan is equivalent to Hajj.”

This includes all of Ramadaan, not just the last ten days.

And Allaah knows best.
