'Umrah for the People of Makkah from Their Homes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A brother asks and says: I am from the people of Makkah, is it possible for me to perform 'Umrah from my house?
Answer:
The people of Makkah and all those residing there have no standing except from knowledge; this is the view of the majority of scholars. Some people have emphasized this, but it is an anomalous opinion that contradicts the meaning of the scholars. The evidence for this is the story of the unmarried woman, for she was in Makkah at al-Abtah. When she was ordered to perform 'Umrah, she was ordered to go out to Hajj. 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Ju'ma', her brother's son, was ordered to perform 'Umrah for her from al-Tan'im, outside Makkah. The scholars said that others are even more deserving of this, for if the young, virtuous Mother of the Believers was ordered to go out, then other people should be the same, and it is not permissible to distinguish between her and others.
As for the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas:

They are for them, and if there is no one upon them,
هن لهن وإن كان عليهن غير أحد،
