Ihram for Hajj upon arriving at 'Arafah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that a man who works for a government department did not intend to perform Hajj until he moved to 'Arafah, so he entered the state of ihram from there. Is his Hajj valid, and is he required to offer a sacrificial animal, or not?
Answer:
If he did not intend it until 'Arafah, his Hajj is valid, and he owes nothing, provided he did not perform 'Umrah. It is prescribed to perform Hajj before that; he owes nothing. It is ifrad (performing Hajj alone), yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
