Is it permissible to repeat 'Umrah after returning from al-Madinah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a pilgrim performing 'Umrah who came from Egypt. I spent fifteen days in Makkah. Is it permissible to perform another 'Umrah when returning from al-Madinah, considering that the journey to al-Madinah is a separate journey from the journey from Egypt to Makkah?

Answer:
If you go to al-Madinah to visit the Prophet’s Mosque and pray in it, that is a required act of worship, for prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque is worth a thousand prayers in any other place. So, when you return to Makkah, once you have finished visiting the Prophet’s Mosque and returned to Makkah, you enter the state of ihram from Dhul-Hulayfah, or from Abraq, which is the miqat for the people of al-Madinah, and you perform a second 'Umrah, which is an increase in good. Yes.
