Applying for a new passport to avoid the new umrah visa fees

Q: All the travel agents are advising to acquire a new passport to avoid the new Umrah Visa fee’s. Prominent members of the public are doing the same. In my view this is unethical and haraam. Can you please advise?

Bismillaah

A: I also don’t encourage anybody.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
