Is it permissible for the people of Makkah to go out to al-Tan'īm and perform 'Umrah?

Question : You, if you are a resident.

Answer : It appears that they go out for 'Umrah. Some scholars say that 'Umrah is not prescribed for a person from Makkah unless he comes from a journey, for example, if he goes out to al-Ta'if, not for the purpose of 'Umrah, but to al-Ta'if or Riyadh or al-Madinah and returns, then he performs 'Umrah. As for going out from Makkah for 'Umrah, this is not prescribed. And Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) seems to lean toward this opinion, that it is not prescribed for them to go out. But, by Allah, in my heart, I have doubts about this matter, because the hadith "They are for them, and for whoever comes to them other than their relatives" indicates generality. It indicates that they have 'Umrah just as others do, but they enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'īm. No, not always, but in Ramadan. If Ramadan comes and they wish to perform 'Umrah, they perform 'Umrah.
