The ruling on a person who refuses to leave Makkah going to Jeddah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: If a resident of Makkah intends to perform Hajj as a mutamatti' and performs 'Umrah in the month of Dhul-Qa'dah, but then leaves Makkah for Jeddah without a pressing need, does this invalidate his tamattu'?
Answer:
This involves a point regarding Makkah and Jeddah. In the past, yes, it was a distance for shortening the prayer. But now, the buildings have come close together between Makkah and Jeddah, so the distance for shortening the prayer no longer exists between them. Therefore, going to Jeddah does not invalidate the tamattu'. Yes.
