238- ‘Umrah of the Messenger in Rajab
Q: Is it correct that the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed ‘Umrah in the month of Rajab?
A: The widely known opinion of the scholars is that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not perform ‘Umrah in the month of Rajab, but that all his ‘Umrahs were performed in Dhul-Qa‘dah. Nevertheless, it was authentically reported from Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed ‘Umrah in Rajab, yet `Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that he was mistaken in that. She added that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not perform ‘Umrah in Rajab. The rule followed in Usul-ul-Fiqh (principles of Islamic jurisprudence) is that an affirmative report takes precedence over a negating one. Perhaps `Aishah and those who agree with her opinion did not memorize what Ibn ‘Umar memorized. With Allah is the success!
