Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says in her question: I would like to inquire about the ruling on entering the state of ihram from Makkah for 'Umrah when there is an excuse. I performed 'Umrah eight years ago; we went to the miqat and everyone with me entered the state of ihram from there, except me, as I had an excuse. When I went, and once the excuse was gone, I took a bath from my place of residence in Makkah, intended 'Umrah, and performed it, praise be to Allah. I have heard that I am required to enter the state of ihram from a place called al-Tan'īm, that my 'Umrah is not accepted, and that I must repeat it. Do I have to repeat it on this basis, given that I performed Hajj more than a year ago? Is there anything required of me?
Answer:
Entering the state of ihram for Hajj is valid from its miqat. So the one who wants to perform Hajj performs it from the place from which he intended, even if it is inside Makkah. As for 'Umrah, one does not enter the state of ihram for it from Makkah, but rather goes out to al-Hudaybiyyah. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had 'A'ishah enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from al-Tan'īm when she wanted to perform 'Umrah while in Makkah; he had her enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'īm with her brother 'Abd al-Rahman. If entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah from Makkah had been permissible, he would have enabled 'A'ishah to do so. As for what happened with this questioner, that she entered the state of ihram for 'Umrah from Makkah, she asks whether her 'Umrah is valid?
Yes, the 'Umrah is valid, and she owes a fidyah (ransom payment) because she left off an obligatory part of the 'Umrah, which is entering the state of ihram from the recognized miqat for her, which is the non-sacred area (al-hal) in this case. So she owes a fidyah that she slaughters in Makkah and distributes to the poor of the Haram, and her 'Umrah is valid. As for her saying that the excuse overtook her while she was at the miqat so she did not enter the state of ihram, this is a mistake. It is obligatory for her, as long as she intends 'Umrah or Hajj, to enter the state of ihram from the miqat, even if she is menstruating. She remains in her state of ihram until the bleeding stops and she takes a bath, then she performs the rituals of 'Umrah. Yes.
