The ruling on passing the miqat by ship without entering the state of ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I came to perform 'Umrah, and I am from Egypt. Our miqat is Rabi'. We instructed the ship's worker to wake us up when we arrived before the miqat so that we could take a bath for the ihram and enter the state of ihram. However, we do not know if he woke us up or not. The important thing is that we got up after the Fajr prayer, which was about six or eight hours after the miqat. We took a bath, entered the state of ihram, intended to perform 'Umrah, and performed it. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh? Do we have to offer a sacrifice or not? And what is the evidence so that I can tell them, and is it valid or not? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The 'Umrah is valid, and you have committed a sin; because you passed the miqat without entering the state of ihram. So the 'Umrah is valid, and praise be to Allah, and you have committed a sin. Each person must slaughter a sacrificial animal in Makkah for having left the miqat; because you left the miqat. It is established from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that he said: "Whoever leaves a ritual or forgets it, let him distribute a sacrificial animal." It is considered elevated to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but what is preserved is transmitted from Ibn 'Abbas. This is a matter in which there is no room for opinion, rather it is not said from the perspective of opinion; it has the ruling of being elevated. So if a person passes the miqat and does not perform Hajj except after the miqat, then he has to offer a sacrifice, and the 'Umrah is valid, and the Hajj is valid.
