Ihram from Jeddah and the use of a scented handkerchief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I came from America after ten months.
The Shaykh:
After, or since?
The questioner:
After ten.
The Shaykh:
You came.
The questioner:
I came from America after ten months.
The Shaykh:
No, no, since, may the Shaykh forgive me, since
The questioner:
my residence here.
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
Ten months of my residence there.
The Shaykh:
If you are in the right.
The questioner:
And that was for Hajj.
The Shaykh:
Mm-hmm.
The questioner:
And that was for Hajj, and I am originally from Jeddah, and the plane did not mention the miqat specifically, so I made the talbiyah at the reservation two hours before landing, and I was not wearing the ihram. After arriving in Jeddah, four hours later, I entered the state of ihram and pronounced the intention anew. Please note that I used a scented handkerchief while on the plane after my talbiyah at the reservation. Please advise us, may Allah reward you? Allah, I have no knowledge.
The Shaykh:
If you are from the people of Jeddah, but you went to your destination for a need, and you went after four months, and you are from the people of Jeddah and a resident there, then there is no harm in your entering ihram before Jeddah, or from Jeddah. As for using the scented handkerchief, if you were ignorant or forgetful, then you owe nothing. If you intentionally used the scented handkerchief on your face or your hands, then you must feed six poor people for this, half a sa' of dates or rice for each poor person, six. If you said three sa'as, each one is half a sa' of dates, rice, or wheat. But if you were ignorant or forgetful, then you owe nothing. As for if you are not a resident of Jeddah, not one of its people living there, then you entered ihram after the miqat, and upon you is a sacrificial animal, because you passed the miqat and entered ihram after it. You have a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor. But if you are from Jeddah, as you said you are from the people of Jeddah but went to the destination as you are accustomed, then the correct ruling is from Jeddah or before you reach it, there is no harm.
