What is the ruling on breaking the fast in Ramadan for a person performing 'Umrah who has come to Makkah?

The questioner : He says:

The Shaykh : No, it is not obligatory.

The questioner : There is a person now who is breaking his fast.

The Shaykh : It is not unusual for a person to be breaking his fast in Makkah on a day like this, because Makkah has visitors from outside and residents who are from Makkah. It is permissible for a visitor to break his fast if he has come for his 'Umrah and will return to his home. This is the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who knew Allah best and feared Him most. The conquest of Makkah took place in the eighth year of the Hijrah, on the twentieth day of this month. His stay in Makkah coincided with the last ten days of Ramadan, and he did not fast. He did not fast; he ate and drank during the last ten days of Ramadan in Makkah. Who is this?
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). This is established from him in Sahih al-Bukhari, in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). He remained in Makkah during its conquest for how many days? Nineteen days. Ten of those days were in Ramadan and nine were in Shawwal.
So this man who is breaking his fast now is not unusual. I have seen with my own eyes, when I was performing sa'y for 'Umrah, people drinking from the water that comes out of Zamzam. If you enter through the gate near the place of sa'y, the gate that leads into the Haram, it is on... perhaps you know it. I saw people drinking from it without anyone objecting, and I also drank from it because I was breaking my fast that day. This is a matter that people are ignorant of. People think that whoever comes to Makkah must abstain from eating and that it is not permissible for him to break his fast. Some of them find fasting very difficult and severe, yet they do not break their fast. In fact, the one who finds fasting very difficult and is a traveler, if he does not break his fast, he is between committing a sin and leaving the better option. That is, either he commits a sin, or it will be said that you left the better option. What is the evidence?
The evidence is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a crowd and a man who had shade over him while traveling, and he said, "What is this?" They said, "He is fasting." He said: No. If there were reward for it, it would be righteousness. And the people came to him.
And they said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people have found fasting difficult, and they are waiting to see what you do." At what time of the day did they come to him? After 'Asr, when there was little left and the sun was about to set. He called for water and placed it on his foot while he was riding his mount, and he drank from it while the people were watching. What is the purpose of placing the vessel on his foot on top of the mount? What is the purpose? To announce this matter and to reassure the people of its permissibility. Because when the people see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drinking himself, they are more reassured, because the people's reassurance through action is stronger than their reassurance through words, is it not? Then it was reported to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) after this, and it was said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, some of the people have fasted. Some of the people have... Those are the sinners who fast despite the hardship. Some of the brothers find fasting very difficult because he has performed tawaf and sa'y and is tired, yet he does not break his fast. Therefore, it is obligatory for students of knowledge to explain to the general public that this is contrary to what is prescribed. That this is contrary to what is prescribed. And that if fasting is difficult for a traveler, what is prescribed for him is to break his fast. And that his fasting is between leaving the better option or committing a sin. So that people know the matter and worship Allah the Exalted with knowledge.
