The ruling on entering the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah for one who came to visit relatives
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am from Yemen, and I came to visit some of my relatives in Jeddah. Then I entered the state of ihram from Jeddah for Hajj alone (ifrad). Is my Hajj valid, and is there any harm in that?
Answer:
If, when you intended to go to Jeddah, you did not intend Hajj, but rather you intended to perform Hajj in Jeddah and initiated it from Jeddah, there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: until you are released from Makkah. So if, when you passed the miqat, you did not intend Hajj, but only intended to visit your relatives in Jeddah, and then it occurred to you and you initiated Hajj from Jeddah, you enter the state of ihram from Jeddah; there is no harm. Yes.
Likewise, if a person visits Makkah for relatives or needs in Makkah, and then wants to perform Hajj, he enters the state of ihram from Makkah, provided he did not intend Hajj when he passed the miqat, but only intended it in Makkah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.

And whoever is below that, meaning below the miqats, his miqat is where he initiated it.
ومن كان دون ذلك يعني دون المواقيت فمغله من حيث أنشأLikewise, if a person visits Makkah for relatives or needs in Makkah, and then wants to perform Hajj, he enters the state of ihram from Makkah, provided he did not intend Hajj when he passed the miqat, but only intended it in Makkah. Yes.
