The ruling on passing through the miqat without entering ihram for one who intends to go to al-Madinah first
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. After the salam, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings, what is the ruling in the religion regarding a man who came from Egypt to perform 'Umrah and passed through the miqat of Rabigh without entering ihram, intending that he would go to al-Madinah from Jeddah, and after the visit, he would enter ihram for 'Umrah from the miqat of the people of al-Madinah, which is Abi 'Ara? Is there anything upon him for passing through Rabigh without ihram? And if he returns to Rabigh from Jeddah and enters ihram from there and enters Makkah first, as some people told me, is this correct? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
If his intention is al-Madinah, he delays his ihram until al-Madinah, from Abi 'Ara. But if his intention is Makkah and he enters ihram from between them, he enters ihram from the miqat he passed through, from al-Juhfah.
I mean Rabigh. But if not, if he only wants al-Madinah and starts with it, intending al-Madinah and then entering ihram from the miqat of al-Madinah, if he wanted that but was prevented from entering al-Madinah, if the situation is tight, he enters ihram where he is. And praise be to Allah who prevented him, he enters ihram where he is. If he is outside the Haram, he enters ihram from where he is. If they prevented him in Jeddah, he enters ihram from Jeddah, because he is excused when he came to Jeddah, as he did not intend anything but al-Madinah. So when he was prevented, he enters ihram from Jeddah. The point is that if he comes from his country intending Makkah, he enters ihram from the miqat he passes through. So if he passes through al-Juhfah, he enters ihram from al-Juhfah. And if he intends al-Madinah, he enters ihram from the miqat of al-Madinah. But if he intends Makkah, it is not permissible [to pass the miqat without entering ihram]; he enters ihram from the miqat he passed through, al-Juhfah. But if he intends al-Madinah but there is no way between him and al-Madinah, because he reached Jeddah and was told, "You have no travel to al-Madinah," the time is tight, he is prevented, he enters ihram from where he is, and praise be to Allah, he has no time. Yes.
