What is the ruling on performing Umrah individually, then entering into Ihram for another Umrah from Al-Taneem? Is it permissible for men and women to act according to the specific allowance granted to Aisha regarding Ihram from Al-Taneem? Is it permissible to repeat Umrah and dedicate its reward to others?
Much debate has occurred regarding the ruling on performing Umrah from Tan'im. One group believes it was specific to Aishah, as a way of comforting her, while another group, representing the majority of scholars, holds that the ruling is general for everyone. They cite Aishah's hadith as proof of permissibility, stating that it is a good deed, that specificity cannot be established without evidence, that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would not command a falsehood, and that the Companions also performed it.
In summary, performing Umrah from the "حل" (outside the Haram boundaries) is permissible with no dislike. However, it is preferable to undertake a separate journey for each Umrah. As for dedicating the reward of Umrah to the deceased, it is permissible. However, Umrah cannot be performed on behalf of a living person unless they are incapacitated and unable to perform it themselves.
