The ruling on the people of Makkah going out to al-Hil for 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the people of Makkah going out to al-Hil for 'Umrah?

Answer : If that is done repeatedly, then there is no doubt that it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). However, if they do it once, for example in the month of Ramadan, then I see that there is nothing wrong with it, even though I do not know of a sunnah (recommended practice) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. But the generality of his statement
Umrah during Ramadan is equal to Hajjعمرة في رمضان تعدل حجة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 939Sahih (Darussalam)
can be used as evidence for the permissibility of that, and Allah knows best.
