The ruling on passing the miqat without entering ihram for one who intends to visit the House and perform tawaf

Question:
You also ask, saying: I intend that when I go from Riyadh to Makkah, I will visit the Sacred House, circumambulate it, and pray without the intention of 'Umrah. Is that permissible, or is it necessary to pass the miqat and enter ihram from there?

Answer:
No, it is not obligatory if one does not intend 'Umrah or Hajj; entering ihram is not obligatory. It is permissible for a person to pass the miqat without ihram, because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specified the miqats, he said: or 'Umrah. The implication is that one who does not intend Hajj or 'Umrah is not required to enter ihram. It is permissible, upon arriving in Makkah, to perform tawaf voluntarily; one may perform tawaf and increase in tawaf, and there is no prohibition. As for sa'y, no, there is no sa'y; there is no sa'y except in the context of Hajj or 'Umrah. One does not perform sa'y voluntarily. As for tawaf, one does perform it voluntarily. Let them perform voluntary tawaf at the House; it is permissible to perform voluntary tawaf even without Hajj or 'Umrah, a mere tawaf, and there is no harm in it. This is an act of worship Yes.
