In this fatwa:
Rules for Performing Multiple Umrahs Before Hajj Tamattu`:
- ✅ Complete `Umrah of Tamattu` first
- ✅ Exit the state of ihram
- ✅ Perform extra `Umrahs if desired
- ✅ You may do them for others
- ✅ No need to wait for Hajj to start
In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
Once you have completed the Umrah of Tamattu and released yourself of ihram, you may do extra Umrahs on behalf of anyone else. There is no need for you to wait for the Hajj to be completed for doing extra Umrahs.
