Is there a special virtue for 'Umrah in Ramadan compared to other times?

The questioner : This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is there a special virtue for 'Umrah in Ramadan compared to other times? I ask the Honorable Shaykh for an answer.

The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. Yes, 'Umrah in Ramadan has a special virtue over 'Umrah at other times, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said However, it is not permissible for one to do what some people do, such as going to Makkah at the beginning of the month and staying there until the end of the month, neglecting their children and neglecting their job obligations if they have any, or taking a leave of absence or a sick leave or what they call an emergency leave, yes. And so on.
This person who leaves what is obligatory upon him in his country and goes to stay in Makkah for the entire month of Ramadan or for the last ten days of it has committed a sin by neglecting an obligation and performing a recommended practice. It is well known that a person of sound mind, let alone a believer, cannot neglect an obligation for the sake of performing a recommended practice, because the obligatory is more important and more beloved to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and because one sins by leaving the obligatory, whereas one does not sin by leaving the voluntary. If a person chooses to perform 'Umrah in Ramadan, let him go, and he can return the day after his journey if he traveled by plane, or on the third or fourth day if he traveled by car and was far from Makkah. As for what some people do, abandoning their families and their job obligations and staying in Makkah, this is a mistake, a mistake in theory and a mistake in terms of the Shari'ah. As for the theoretical aspect, a person of sound mind cannot prioritize a voluntary act for which there is no sin in leaving it over an obligation for which there is sin in leaving it. And as for the Shari'ah aspect, because if a person leaves what is obligatory upon him, he is a sinner and a transgressor,

The presenter : All right.

The Shaykh : And I specifically mean those brothers who are mu'adhdhins or imams.

The presenter : The people of the mosques.

The Shaykh : They leave their mosques and go to Makkah to stay there. Let our brothers pay attention to this and return to the right path.
