The ruling on passing the miqat without entering ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I visit Makkah frequently, and sometimes I do not perform 'Umrah. If I pass the miqat without entering ihram to complete my work, does 'Umrah become obligatory for me?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory for you. If you are going to Makkah for work and you wish to perform 'Umrah to gain the reward, then you enter ihram from the miqat you pass, perform the 'Umrah, and then go to your work. This carries a great reward. If this is difficult for you, or burdensome, or if you do not have enough time for both the work and the 'Umrah, then there is nothing wrong with passing through to Makkah without entering ihram. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
