The questioner : Is the 'Umrah obligatory for the people of Makkah?
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning of the texts is that the 'Umrah is obligatory for everyone, but many scholars say that the people of Makkah do not perform the 'Umrah, because it was not known in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for people to leave Makkah to the open land to perform the 'Umrah. The more apparent view is that it is obligatory for everyone. Yes, Fahd.
