You can get the reward of a full Hajj and Umrah by offering the Ishraq Namaz. Below is the hadith :-حضرتِ سیِّدُنا اَنَس رَضِیَ اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُسے روایت ہے کہ نبیٔ کریم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلہٖ وَسَلَّم نے ارشادفرمایا:جو فجر کی نمازجماعت سے پڑھ کر بیٹھا ذکرِ خدا کرتا رہا، یہاں تک کہ آفتاب بلند ہوگیا پھر دو رکعتیں پڑھیں تو اُسے پورے حج اور عمرہ کا ثواب ملے گا۔ (At-Tirmidhi) The Hadith says that if someone prays 2 rakats after the sun rises they get the reward of Hajj and Umrah. Also this prayer should be done when the sun is higher in the sky and not right after sunrise. The Prophet Hazrat Muhammad SAW forbade praying right when the sun comes up.
