Question:
Is 'Umrah obligatory for the people of Makkah?

Answer:
Yes, the correct ruling is that they must perform 'Umrah like everyone else, but they should not be in the state of tamattu'. If they perform 'Umrah, they do not owe the sacrificial animal for 'Umrah; they owe 'Umrah once in their lifetime. This is based on what is established in the hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the question of Jibril, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Jibril:

Al-Islam implies that you testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and you establish prayer, pay Zakat, observe the fast of Ramadan, and perform pilgrimage

الإسلام: أن تشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأنَّ محمدًا رسول الله، وتُقيم الصلاة، وتُؤتي الزكاة، وتصوم رمضان، وتحج، وتعتمر

Sahih Muslim 8a

It was narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah and al-Daraqutni with a sound chain of narration. And based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) statement in the hadith of 'A'ishah when she said: "O Messenger of Allah, we see that jihad is the best of deeds," he said:

Upon them is a Jihad in which there is no fighting: Al-Hajj and Al-‘Umrah.

عليكنَّ جهادٌ لا قتالَ فيه: الحج والعمرة

Sunan Ibn Majah 2901Sahih (Darussalam)

This includes the people of Makkah, the people of al-Madinah, and others. The correct ruling is that they owe 'Umrah once in their lifetime, just like everyone else.
