Meeting one's relatives before leaving for Umrah

Q: My husband and I are going for Umrah insha Allah. My side of the family lives in Durban. Do I have to go and greet them personally or can I greet them over the fone. Please advise.

A: Phoning them is quite sufficient.

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