Visiting Medine is not required for Hac or Umre validity, but it is highly sunnet due to the virtue of praying in Hz. Peygamber's Mosque.
Visiting Medine is not a pillar or requirement of either Hac or Umre. Your hac ibadeti is completely valid without visiting Medine. However, all four schools agree that visiting Hz. Peygamber's Mosque is highly sunnet and carries tremendous reward. Hz. Peygamber said: 'A namaz in my cami is better than a thousand namazs in any other cami, except Mescid-i Haram.'
Most hacilar include Medine in their itinerary, typically spending three to five days. Visiting before Hac allows gradual acclimatization in a less crowded city. Visiting after provides a peaceful conclusion. During your stay, you can pray in Hz. Peygamber's Mosque, visit the Rawdah, send salawat at Hz. Peygamber's grave, visit Baqi cemetery, and pray at Masjid Quba.
The journey to Medine is specifically for visiting Hz. Peygamber's Mosque, not the grave itself. Scholars emphasize that the intention should be to pray in the cami. Most Hac packages include Medine as standard.
