Is it permissible for fasting pilgrims performing 'Umrah to break their fast in Makkah?

The questioner : We came from a journey and arrived in Makkah at three-thirty. Our families were very thirsty. We performed tawaf and sa'y. We want to travel to Jeddah. Do they enter the state of ihram?

The Shaykh : This person is asking, saying that he has a family with him who have performed 'Umrah while fasting, and that they are currently thirsty. Is it permissible for them to break their fast, or is it not permissible? The answer is that it is permissible for them to break their fast, even if they are not thirsty, and even if they are full and well-hydrated. It is permissible for them to break their fast. Every one of us who is a pilgrim in this place now may break his fast.

The questioner : Halim, news, yes.

The Shaykh : I say it is permissible. You should break your fast with them as well.

The questioner : No, it is not me.

The Shaykh : I say you should break your fast as well. There is nothing wrong with it now. Just let them break their fast, but make sure the water is not cold.

The questioner : Going and coming.

The Shaykh : Let them drink and eat now, yes.

The questioner : They arrived here at four o'clock.

The Shaykh : Do not go out, my brother. They eat and drink, and there is nothing required of them, even if they are here. Do you understand, my brother? Allahu Akbar. Okay, no, no, are they from the people of Makkah? They are, Shaykh. Come, my brother. If they break their fast, they must make up the day. Definitely. Yes. Can you, can you repeat the question? Listen.
