Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 841/841=M/1430)

It is better to pay the amount before performing umarh so that you have no right pending on you and you perform the umrah being free from all liabilities. However, if you cannot do so and pay the amount after returning from umrah without giving interest, it is also alright. And, the umrah will be valid and acceptable if you will perform it observing all rules and obligations.
