Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace.
The questioner : I sent you a simple question, please. People, all of them.
The Shaykh : Do you allow him to ask?
The questioner : People who have lived in al-Ta'if all their lives wake up in the morning and come here. They pray Maghrib, break their fast in the Haram, pray Maghrib and Tarawih, and the night prayer, then they go back. Is there any prohibition in their going and coming every day?
The Shaykh : People from al-Ta'if say.
The questioner : They are not in a state of major ritual impurity.
The Shaykh : Or foreigners, the point is they come from al-Ta'if to Makkah every night for iftar in Makkah and the standing prayer, then they return to al-Ta'if. Do they have to enter the state of ihram? Do they have to bid farewell? The answer is: They do not have to enter the state of ihram, nor bid farewell.
The questioner : The first time, they are amazed.
The Shaykh : The first time they came in ihram and left in farewell, but the second time and thereafter, they owe nothing. That is it. Listen, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
