Why Is Rajab A Holy Month?
Since Hajj is performed on a fixed date, any contingency happening in travelling would result in missing of the Hajj date. Therefore, more room was given for travelling purposes to avoid any contingency. However, Umra on the other hand can be performed anytime, therefore travelling can be planned accordingly considering any contingencies that may happen, and also delays would not result in missing of one’s Umra as opposed to Hajj.
