Removing the ihram garments on the eighth day, then entering ihram again

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I entered ihram for Hajj on the eighth day while I was in Mina. The person with me in the group told me that it is not obligatory for me to enter ihram on that day. So I took off my ihram garments and waited until the ninth day, then I entered ihram again.

Answer:
If you intended to enter ihram, it is not permissible for you to back out. If you intended to enter ihram, do not back out of it, and do not take it off except by performing the rites
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
. However, if you wore the garments but did not intend to enter the rites, there is no harm in taking off the clothes; because you have not yet entered ihram. Wearing the clothes is not ihram; ihram is the intention in the heart, the intention to enter the rites. That is ihram.
