Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person left his house in a state of ihram and headed toward the airport, but he was unable to travel to Jeddah because of the congestion. What is required of him?
Answer:
Since he did not travel, he has become a resident, so he must fast. As for the ihram, the time for entering ihram has not yet arrived; the time for ihram is at the miqat. The time for ihram has not arrived unless he intended to enter ihram. If he intended to enter ihram, then he may exit the state of ihram because he was prevented. This is a person who was prevented from proceeding to perform the rites, so he must exit the state of ihram.
