Should he do ‘Umrah or spend the money on Jihad and propagating knowledge and on the poor?
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Is spending the cost of a voluntary ‘Umrah on Jihad and propagating knowledge and meeting the needs of the weak better than doing ‘Umrah, or is doing ‘Umrah better? Does that include ‘umrah during Ramadan?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It seems that it is possible to combine the two, if you are economical in spending on ‘Umrah, especially ‘Umrah in Ramadan. If you cannot combine the two, then that which brings benefit to you and others is what is better. Based on that, Jihad, propagating knowledge and meeting the needs of the needy is better. End quote.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
