ANSWER:

This is absolutely a biddah. You don’t need to do anything before leaving for umrah or hajj. 

sheikh,in my country South Africa,when we leave for umrah and hajj people gather at the house and recite some Quran surah and make duah and make athaan before the hujaaj leave their house. Is this bidah,if so please advise the proper way to leave the house when going for umrah or hajj
