Ihram for 'Umrah for one who traveled for other than a ritual
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: A man went to Jeddah, and the primary reason for his trip was trade and work. It was his habit that if he found ample time after finishing his business matters, he would go for 'Umrah. If he wanted to perform 'Umrah, from where should he enter the state of ihram, O Shaykh?
Answer:
If he went to Makkah and passed the miqat without having intended it, without having resolved to perform 'Umrah, and he only says, “I am going to Makkah, and if I have some free time, I will take 'Umrah,” then he enters the state of ihram from the non-sacred area (al-hal). He enters ihram from al-Tan'im, or from 'Arafah, or from outside the Haram. Yes.
