umrah culture

i want to discuss one issue related to ramzan that happens every year in last ashrah. i call it umra culture where people do umra in las ashrah. it is very common place in pakistan and even though society at large has become less religious, still more people go on umra in ramzan every year. in some families it has become a regular practice and almost taken on a form of biddat.

i think that with so many idps and deaths happening in pakistan this ramzan, people should donate money to needy instead of going to umrah. As usual religious scholars are sleeping and probably doing umrah themselves to issue any decree on this matter.

at the same time, while munshi dar introduces jagga tax on all common usage items, he should introduce some tax on people doing 3rd/4th trip to discourage this practice.
