The question

Is it a condition for sitting after Fajr prayer in congregation, in order to await the reward of Hajj and Umrah, that it be in the same place of prayer or any place in the mosque? And is dhikr (remembrance of Allah) a condition, or is reciting the Qur’an permissible? And must the one sitting be alone, or is it permissible for them to be part of a group remembering Allah or reciting the Qur’an? And is it necessary for the sitting to be in the mosque, or is it permissible at home, and what should a woman do if it must be in the mosque?

The answer

The aforementioned hadith was narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, and it includes sitting in any part of the mosque to remember Allah after the Fajr prayer until sunrise, then praying two rak'ahs. The Muslim then receives the reward of a complete Hajj and 'Umrah. This remembrance includes reciting the Qur'an and the prescribed supplications, whether the person sitting is alone or with a group.
