Is there a special virtue to fasting in Makkah compared to other places?

Question:
Regarding the virtue of fasting in Makkah: Is there a difference between fasting in Makkah and fasting elsewhere?

Answer:
Yes, all deeds in Makkah have a special virtue, all righteous deeds, except for prayer, which is multiplied by a hundred thousand. The others have virtue and distinction, but there is no specific limit. Madinah has its share of that, but Makkah, by the explicit statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), has deeds multiplied in it. However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified that prayer is a hundred thousand prayers, and in the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), it is better than a thousand prayers in any other place. As for everything else, there is virtue, but it was not defined by a specific number. The rewards are multiplied: from fasting, from charity, from glorifying Allah, from proclaiming the oneness of Allah, from reciting the Qur'an, and from circumambulation, there is much good.
