What is the ruling on pilgrims performing 'Umrah visiting the shrines in Makkah and al-Madinah?

Question:
And what is the ruling on going to the shrines in Mina, 'Arafah, and al-Mash'ar al-Haram for those performing 'Umrah, as well as Mount Uhud and Mount Thawr?

Answer:
All of this is superstition. All of this is superstition, a waste of time, and a religious innovation (bid'ah) for which a person commits a sin.
One does not go to 'Arafah except on the Day of 'Arafah. The one who goes to 'Arafah on the Day of 'Arafah is a pilgrim performing Hajj. One does not go to Mina except on the days of Tashriq. He is a pilgrim performing Hajj. One does not go to the mountains. No mountain, not Mount Thawr, not Mount Hira, nor anything else, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not legislate this. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not go to Mount Hira or the Cave of Hira after the revelation, nor did he go to the Cave of Thawr. He only went to them out of necessity, at the time of necessity when he was hiding from the polytheists before the revelation. And when the polytheists threatened him when he wanted to migrate, he hid in the Cave of Thawr until the pursuit of him ceased. He did this out of necessity, not because the cave has any virtue or blessing. And there is no specific benefit that you get from it, such as a shelter to live in or to stand in.
