What the Ottomons did or didn't do is irrelevent to whether it's permissible or not. As Mufti Taqi says Abu Hanifa has permitted non-permanent entry into the two cities.

It's relevant. The Ottomans were Hanafis so their behavior, law, and the logic behind it (and how it was received by other 'ulema) would be relevant for other Hanafis. They were the only ones in the position to actually implement a law on this.
