A man who does not visit his relatives in Makkah when he goes for 'Umrah, citing the hadith (Whoever’s migration is to Allah and His Messenger…)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I have some relatives who go to perform 'Umrah and return to their country without visiting the relatives who are in Makkah. He says they go for 'Umrah and return without visiting their relatives in Makkah, and they cite the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
whoever migrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his migration will be for Allah and His Apostleمن كانت هجرته إلى الله ورسوله فهجرته إلى الله ورسوله
Sahih al-Bukhari 2529
and that in this journey of theirs to Makkah, their migration is to Allah and His Messenger only. Is their citation correct?

Answer:
No, this is not correct. This is laughable; this is a laughable citation. The meaning of “his migration is to Allah and His Messenger” is that he does not settle in Makkah and leaves the land of migration. He does not settle in Makkah and leaves the land of migration. This is specific to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them); it is specific to the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them). As for maintaining ties with relatives, this is obligatory for the one performing 'Umrah and others. If you have relatives in Makkah, you must visit them and maintain ties with them. You must visit your relatives and maintain ties with them. Yes. And now, Makkah and other places have all become lands of Islam, praise be to Allah. They have all become lands of Islam, and you are not a migrant either. You are from the migrants. This is specific to those who migrated from Makkah in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for after that, there is no longer migration from Makkah; it has become a land of Islam. Only migration from lands of disbelief to lands of Islam remains, not from Makkah. Yes.
