Ihram from Jeddah for one who arrived from Sudan with the intention of Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question from Salih Husayn: I arrived from Sudan with the intention of Hajj and entered the state of ihram from Jeddah. Is that permissible?
Answer:
Yes, but it is obligatory for you to enter ihram from the Meeqat if you are traveling by air or by sea. If you came via the route of Khartoum or other routes other than Suwakin, then the Meeqat is the place opposite it, whether by air, land, or sea. So if you did not enter ihram except from Jeddah, you have committed a sin by leaving the Meeqat, unless you came via the route of Suwakin. The scholars have said that the route of Suwakin has Jeddah as its Meeqat, because it does not face the Meeqat until it reaches Jeddah. Yes.
