Putting on the ihram garments and then removing them before completing the Hajj

The questioner:
I have a question; I took one question.

The presenter:
What is it?

The questioner:
I performed Hajj this year, and I also performed Hajj the year before. Did I complete my Hajj?

The presenter:
What is missing from your Hajj? What did you leave out?

The questioner:
I did not complete my Hajj; I went back during the Hajj.

The presenter:
Did you wait and stand at 'Arafah?

The questioner:
No, I did not stand there. I went and put on my ihram garments, then I took them off.

The presenter:
Immediately, meaning after the miqat or before? Did you put on the ihram after the miqat, or how?

The questioner:
No, I went to the camp. I went to the camp, then I went back to the house.

The presenter:
The camp and the gathering.

The questioner:
Makkah.

The presenter:
Meaning, it is the same as Makkah. Okay, let us ask the Shaykh.

The questioner:
Yes, okay.

The presenter:
Thank you, Naif. May Allah bless you. He says, may Allah bless you: He intended to perform Hajj with the group, but he put on the ihram garments and then removed them. What is required of him?

The Shaykh:
If it was merely wearing them and he did not intend to enter into the rites, then there is no harm in that. However, if he intended to enter into the rites, he must complete his rites and exit the state of ihram.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salih, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge.
