Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Many of the brothers disapprove of me when I travel to Makkah and perform 'Umrah, but I do not go to al-Madinah. They disapprove of my not going to al-Madinah. He asks: Is there any basis for this disapproval?
Answer:
No, there is no disapproval of him; there is no disapproval of him. If he goes to Makkah, it is not obligatory for him to go to al-Madinah; it is not obligatory for him to go to al-Madinah. Visiting the Prophet’s Mosque is a recommended practice (sunnah) that is independent; it is not linked to Hajj or 'Umrah. Yes.
