Question

1-I study in King Fahd Dehran University. My home is in Makkah. If I want to go to my home for some personal reasons in short period of time like in week or 2 for an emergency or important work do I have to perform Ummrah? 2-Can I go to my home during vications without perfoming umrah? 3-A mufti Named Maulana Makki in Makkah says it is Ok for a person who lives in Makkah and works outside of meeqat not to perform Ummrah every time he comes and goes through the meeqat until and unless he intends/means to do so is it true?

2. No.

3. We cannot comment on the respected Maulana?s view until we see his proofs.
