Is it permissible to travel to another country, such as Bahrain, with the intention of performing Umrah, if one does not currently have sufficient funds to perform Umrah?

Whoever has already entered into the rituals of Hajj or Umrah, by assuming ihram from the miqat, must complete what they have started. It is not permissible to interrupt it except for a legitimate excuse, based on the Almighty's saying: (And complete the Hajj and Umrah for Allah) and (And do not invalidate your deeds). As for someone who had the intention of Umrah but has not yet entered into the rituals, there is no blame on them, and they are permitted to travel to any other destination. However, it is better for them to complete the remaining preparations for the Umrah journey to attain the great reward, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Umrah to Umrah is an expiation for what is between them, and Hajj Mabrur (an accepted Hajj) has no reward but Paradise."
