What is the ruling on one who performs 'Umrah, then goes out to al-Tan'eem, and performs another 'Umrah on behalf of someone else?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible, after finishing 'Umrah, to go out to al-Tan'eem to enter the state of ihram and perform another 'Umrah for a deceased father?

Answer:
It is better for one who is in Makkah to remain in Makkah in al-Masjid al-Haram, circumambulating the Ka'bah and praying, for one prayer there is worth a hundred thousand prayers. He should circumambulate, pray, and perform i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque); this is better than going out to al-Tan'eem to perform 'Umrah. It is permissible for him to go out and perform 'Umrah, but he misses out on many blessings that are far better than 'Umrah. If he wants to benefit the deceased, he should make du'a' (supplication) for him, and if he comes to Makkah again, he should perform 'Umrah for him.
