Removed as it's not available on their website so either it has been retracted or it was an offline fatwa. However, there is another fatwa available on their website which states that you should follow the rules but nafl tawaaf would still be accepted if you did not do so.

Question
In the current situation, there is a restriction by the Saudi government to go down into the Mataf in Masjid Haram, and only those in Ihram are allowed to go down into the Mataf and perform Umrah. Without Ihram, one cannot enter the grounds of Mutaf in simple clothes. If Nafil Tawaf is to be performed in plain clothes, then it has to be done from the upper floor. which takes a lot of time and requires a long round trip. which is a lot of work. In such a situation, if a person goes near the Kaaba and performs Nafl Tawaf without intending to perform Umrah, only wears the cloak of Ihram, adopts the appearance of the Mahrameen, and descends with them in Mutaf, then this action is permissible according to the Shari'ah. Will it happen or not? Does it involve cheating or not? Also, how is it according to Shari'ah to pray bareheaded and perform Tawaf bareheaded while wearing the veil of Ihram? Guide me in the light of the Quran and Sunnah.
Reply
In the case of responsibility, only people in Ihram are allowed by the government to perform Tawaf near Bait Allah; in addition, people are not allowed to perform Nafil Tawaf near Bait Allah, so wearing sheets without the intention of Ihram is not permitted. To be able to do tawaf near Allah is contrary to reality; therefore, this practise should be avoided. But if a person performs tawaf only by wearing the veil of Ihram, then tawaf will be accepted.
It sounds like the ihram restriction in the mataf is an administrative matter so the authorities can facilitate tawaf for the umrah pilgrims. Just like certain entrances to the haram are closed at certain times of the day to facilitate the movement of worshippers and prevent congestion. It would seem prudent to follow these restrictions so that we can do our bit to assist the authorities in their administration.
Who takes decision on administration of Haramain. Ummah likes to hear from them.
taraweeh reduced to 8 rakat, adminstration.
Far from raudah, at a distance, a pious old buzurg, his eyes closed, tears flowing from his eyes, the security gaurd pushes him to ground...... administration......
Sitting in masjid e nabavi they abuse Imam Abu Hanifah RA.... administration.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
