'Umrah from Jeddah for the seasonal worker, and the blood sacrifice and fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, I came from Egypt for seasonal work, and on the second day of my arrival in Jeddah I performed 'Umrah, meaning I entered the state of ihram from Jeddah. So, on the day of my arrival, the second day of my arrival, they told me that I owe a fidyah. So I went to Al-Rajhi Bank to arrange the fidyah for the 'Umrah and Hajj. Do I owe another blood sacrifice? And if they tell me I owe another blood sacrifice, I am fasting today for the three days of fasting in Hajj. Is the fasting of today valid? Please advise us, may Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you came with the intention of Hajj along with the work, then entering ihram from Jeddah makes the blood sacrifice obligatory. But if you came for work and then it occurred to you in Jeddah to enter ihram for 'Umrah, then you owe nothing, because your new intention came about in Jeddah. As for if you, when you left Egypt, intended Hajj or 'Umrah, then it is obligatory to enter ihram from your miqat, al-Juhfah. If you passed that point and went to Jeddah, then you owe a blood sacrifice. And you know your own intention best. If you passed the miqat without entering ihram while intending Hajj and 'Umrah, then you owe a second blood sacrifice, other than the blood sacrifice for tamattu'. The blood sacrifice for tamattu' is compensated by fasting if you are unable, these three days. Complete the fasting; today's fast is valid, and fast seven days at that time, or in Makkah later. The second blood sacrifice is the same: you slaughter it in Makkah. If you are unable, you fast ten other days, other than the ten for tamattu'. And if Allah makes things easy for you and you buy a sacrificial animal, that suffices in place of the fasting. Yes.
