The ruling on entering the state of ihram for one who returns to Makkah to perform a rite he left behind, such as the tawaf of visitation

The Shaykh : Yes, a partnership.

The questioner : May Allah bless you. What is the criterion for the one we oblige or order to perform an 'Umrah if we send him back to?

The Shaykh : How? What?

The questioner : So this is the criterion for the one we order to perform an 'Umrah if he is sent back to Makkah. We previously stated that the one we send back to Makkah is the one who left a pillar. Does everyone who is sent back to Makkah say, "Go perform an 'Umrah," or is there a specific case that requires it?

The Shaykh : So tell me which pillar you mean. We only have the tawaf and the sa'y, because the standing has already ended, and the ihram has also been entered and completed.

The questioner : Or a menstruating woman is told, "Go to your family, then come back." Or something similar, regarding cases where one returns to

The Shaykh : We say the preferred course is that anyone who returns to Makkah intending to perform a rite should not pass the miqat without entering ihram. But we said "preferred" because he is currently engaged in a rite; he is in the middle of a rite. Otherwise, we would say it is obligatory: if he wants to perform 'Umrah, he must enter ihram from the miqat.

The questioner : And he owes nothing.

The Shaykh : But he returned to Makkah for a purpose, so we said the precaution is to know.
