The ruling on removing the ihram garments before the tawaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The listener asking is Shaykh Hasan, your Shaykh, from Syria. He sent a message asking and saying: I came from Damascus to Jeddah by plane and entered the state of ihram inside the plane before we reached the miqat. After I arrived in Jeddah, due to compelling reasons, I exited my ihram and put on my clothes, where I slept in Jeddah. On the second day, I entered ihram from Jeddah. When I arrived at the Noble Makkah, I performed the tawaf and sa'y without going to al-Tan'īm. So, is what I did valid, or should you direct me to something else? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
What you did by entering ihram in the plane when passing the miqat is the correct thing, indeed it is obligatory. As for your removing the ihram in Jeddah and wearing sewn clothes, because you wanted to stay overnight there, this is a mistake, an error. You have committed one of the prohibitions of ihram. The ihram remains upon you; you are still in a state of ihram. The ruling of ihram is not removed by taking off the clothes or by doing any of the prohibitions of ihram. When a person intends ihram and enters it, it is binding upon him until he completes his rites. So, your second ihram in Jeddah, and your removing the ihram garments and replacing them with sewn clothes, is a great error and the commission of a prohibition of ihram. The most cautious course for you is to pay a fidyah (ransom payment). In this case, you have a choice between three things: either you slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, or you fast for three days, or you feed six poor people, each poor person receiving half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of food. This is to be done in Makkah for the poor of the Haram. Yes.
