What is the ruling on entering the state of ihram from al-Tan'im for one who has come from a far distance and performs multiple 'Umrahs?

The questioner : The honorable Shaykh, some people come from a far place for the purpose of 'Umrah to Makkah, then they perform 'Umrah and exit the state of ihram, then they enter the state of ihram again and go to al-Tan'im, and then they perform 'Umrah. That is, in one journey they perform several 'Umrahs. How is this?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. This is from the religious innovations, from the religious innovations in the religion of Allah. For there is no one more eager than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or the Companions. As we all know, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah as a conqueror at the end of Ramadan and remained in Makkah for nineteen days, and he did not go out to al-Tan'im to enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. Likewise, the Companions. So repeating 'Umrah in one journey is from the religious innovations. It is said to the person: If you love to be rewarded, circumambulate the House; that is better for you than going out to al-Tan'im.
Then we also say: circumambulate the House if it is not the season of Hajj. If it is the season of Hajj, the first circumambulation is sufficient for you. Leave the place of circumambulation for those who need it. For this reason, we find that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in all his 'Umrahs did not circumambulate, meaning: he did not repeat the circumambulation, and he did not go out to al-Tan'im to come with an 'Umrah. And we find that in the Farewell Pilgrimage, he did not circumambulate except for the circumambulation of the rites only: the circumambulation of arrival, the circumambulation of the day of 'Arafah, and the circumambulation of farewell. And it is well known that we are not more eager to obey Allah than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions. So we say to this person: Make it easy on yourself; the first 'Umrah is sufficient for you. And if you want to leave Makkah, perform the circumambulation of farewell. And praise be to Allah. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, is it permissible for a student who came from Riyadh and has colleagues in Jeddah to visit his colleagues in Jeddah and then enter the state of ihram with them for Hajj?
The Shaykh : Is it permissible, what?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. This is from the religious innovations, from the religious innovations in the religion of Allah.
