The questioner:
This questioner says: We arrived by plane to perform Hajj on the twenty-seventh, performing Hajj al-Qiran.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
We arrived by plane to perform Hajj on the twenty-seventh, performing Hajj al-Qiran, with the intention of traveling to Madinah first. At Jeddah Airport, we were prevented from traveling to Madinah. We tried to travel to Madinah by any means, and we stayed in the airport for three days hoping to travel to Madinah, but we were unable to do so and were prevented from leaving the airport. So we were forced to enter the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah Airport. In this situation, we say that we passed our miqat without entering the state of ihram. What is the ruling in a case like ours? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
You owe nothing; because you are from the people of Madinah, when you were prevented, you initiated the state of ihram from your location. There is no harm in this. Your state of ihram is valid, and you owe nothing; because you did not intend to pass the miqat except for the sake of Madinah. You will leave from there, so you owe nothing.
