Sorry, I had thought that the advise I had received was reliable.

You know I was actually amazed that how can someone tell you which is totally against logic... ITs like a guy is allowed to stand in the middle of ocean , but he is not allowed to swim..
Like another guppy said, that what if some from Makkah or Madina sponsors the visit visa. Then how can the authorities actually stop some one from performing the pilgrimage..
Btw, its the common known best practice by many. that they sponsor their family members well before Ramadhan (Saudi Embassies stop issuing visit visa from Ramadhan till after Hajj cause of the work load), then the sponsored family stays till Hajj,, performs Umrah, spends nice time during Ramadhan, then goes for Hajj.
Umair:: have a nice time and say Salam from all of us guppies when you visit the Prophet Mohammad's PBUH mosque.
