Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

 

In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving

 

 All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.

 

 

You should not question or entertain doubts about the validity of your Umra based on such opinions; if anyone wants to follow those views, let them do so. But that is not the position held by most of the scholars.

 

This position is bassed on the authentic report from the Prophet (peace be upon him): when Aishah complained to him she missed the Umrah because of her menses while others could perform Umrah. The prophet then called her brother to accompany her to Tan’eem (called masjid Aisha) to assume Ihram and perform Umra.

 

You should ask those people where did Aisha come from for hajj? She came from Madinah. If what they say is right, then the Prophet would have asked her brother to take her to Dhul Hulayfah which was the Miqat that the Prophet and the companions assumed ihram. Are they telling the Prophet he was wrong in telling Aishah to go to Tan’eem?

 

Those who pose as muftis on the internet without seeking true knowledge are misled. They are also misleading others. We ought to shun such people.

 

I would advise you never to turn to such people for gaining knowledge of Islam.

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
