It wouldn't work.

Saudi Arabia has an economy of 745 billion USD[1], the tourism from pilgrimage brings in 17 bliion USD[2]

If all the followers of Islam decided to abstain it would only lower the GDP of Saudi Arabia by 2,2% which is hardly anything (especially when you take into account of Saudi Arabia's GDP grows by around 2% real GDP every year [3].

The only thing it would really do, economically, against the Saudis would be to harm their attempts at diversifying their economy.

At most you could hope for a symbolic victory.

Money is not the issue for them, not giving them the legitimacy to continue as rulers of their country which includes Islam's holiest sites, let alone as one of the world's most influential Islamic authorities, is the point.
