Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a person wants to enter the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah, are there two rak'ahs he prays when entering the state of ihram?
Answer:
This is not established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that there is a prayer specific to entering the state of ihram. However, if he enters the state of ihram after an obligatory prayer, that is better, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this. So, entering the state of ihram after an obligatory prayer is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
