Is fasting in the Makkah Haram rewarded with a multiplied reward?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is the reward for one who fasts a day in the Makkah Haram equal to the reward for one hundred thousand days elsewhere?

Answer:
It does not require evidence, but in any case, acts of worship in the Haram have a special merit due to the honor of the place. As for specifying it as one hundred thousand days, there is no evidence for that. This was mentioned specifically regarding prayer.
