Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is wudu' (ablution) required when entering the state of ihram? And is it required to pray two rak'ahs at the miqat?
Answer:
No, none of this is required. What is required is that if he performs wudu', it is better. He should enter ihram in a state of purity, pray the two rak'ahs of wudu', and then enter ihram. This is a good thing, one act of worship following another, an additional merit upon merit. However, if he enters ihram without wudu' and without prayer, and he merely makes the intention of ihram and recites the talbiyah, his action is valid. Yes.
