Is it better to perform one umrah or multiple tawaafs?
Question
Is it better for one to perform one umrah or multiple tawaafs only and send as isaale thawaab for one's living parents (they have never been for umrah or hajj before) and asaatidha? And for oneself, what is more virtuous, multiple umrahs or multiple tawafs?
Answer
The reward of the umrah is obviously greater. Look at your convenience and ease as to what is easily manageable for you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
