The Two Rak'ahs Before Ihram at the Miqat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Are the two rak'ahs at the miqat, before entering ihram, called the rak'ahs of ihram? And are they a recommended practice?
Answer:
There is no report, meaning, there is no report of a prayer at the time of ihram. However, some say it is a recommended practice associated with wudu', because one performs wudu' before entering ihram, and it is recommended for one who has performed wudu' to pray two rak'ahs as the recommended practice of wudu'. So he classifies it under this category, which is better. Yes.
