The ruling on addressing a pilgrim by saying: O pilgrim, or O female pilgrim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, the words "O pilgrim" or "O female pilgrim" were not used during the time of the Companions. Is it permissible to say them, or are they an innovation? Thank you.

Answer:
Do not say them, because you do not know whether his or her Hajj will be accepted or not. But say, "O so-and-so," using his or her name. Yes.
