The questioner:
This viewer, Abu 'Abd al-Malik al-Jami'ah, says: Honorable Shaykh, we love you for the sake of Allah and we make du'a' for you, Shaykh Salih, in your absence. I have a group of questions. He says: Shaykh Salih, he came to perform 'Umrah for himself and desired a second 'Umrah for his father. So, what is the validity of entering ihram for the second 'Umrah from al-Ja'ranah and at-Tan'eem? Is the intention behind that merely to exit the boundary of the Haram, or is it a recommended practice? And which is better, Honorable Shaykh: should I go out to the miqat or to at-Tan'eem?
The Shaykh:
Yes, one does not enter ihram for 'Umrah from Makkah. If one intends 'Umrah while in Makkah, he does not enter ihram from Makkah; rather, he goes out to the boundaries of the Haram, either to at-Tan'eem, which is the nearest point of the halal area, or to al-Ja'ranah, or to ash-Shamisi, which is the site of al-Hudaybiyyah. The boundaries of the Haram have markers; there are clear markers indicating the boundaries of the Haram.
So he goes out beyond the Haram and enters ihram. This is obligatory. This is one of the obligations of 'Umrah, because entering ihram from the miqat is one of the obligations of Hajj and one of the obligations of 'Umrah. One enters ihram for 'Umrah from the halal area, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered 'A'ishah to have her brother take her out to at-Tan'eem when she wanted to perform 'Umrah. She sought the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) permission for this, and he ordered her brother 'Abd al-Rahman to take her out to at-Tan'eem. So she entered ihram for 'Umrah and performed the 'Umrah. Yes.
The questioner:
What if he goes out to as-Sayl, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
If he goes out to as-Sayl, there is no harm, but he should not overburden himself. There is ease, and there is at-Tan'eem and the boundaries of the Haram. Yes.
