Reward of fardh hajj and nafl hajj
Question
Can we perform more than 1 Haj and Umrah. Do we get the same reward as the first one if we perform Haj and Umrah more than once?
Answer
The first hajj one performs with the niyyat of the fard hajj will be more rewarding than the hajj done later on as the other hajj will be nafil. The reward of fard is more than nafil. All umrahs are sunnah. Hence, one will receive the reward of the sunnah for each umrah one carries out.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
