Question
Umrah Craze: This has become annual 'holy holidays'. They go to the Holy Cities but return without any moral and spiritual change. In fact, many come back worse than what they were before going. They continue with all their haraam dealings. Of what benefit is this Umrah craze?
Answer
They don't go for Umrah. They have a lot of haraam and mushtabah money to waste, hence they don't acquire the taufeeq to spend adequately in the Path of Allah Ta'ala to secure their Aakhirat. They commit self-deception, duping themselves with their 'umrah' holiday tours. The fact that there is no improvement in their Deeni life is loud evidence for the rejection of their Umrah. This 'umrah craze' is also one of the signs of Qiyaamah.
