The ruling on entering ihram from Makkah for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This sister, Umm Nuwaf, from Bisha, says: I would like to inquire about the ruling on entering ihram from Makkah for 'Umrah when a woman has an excuse. I performed 'Umrah a few years ago; we went to the miqat and everyone with me entered ihram, but I did not because I had an excuse. When the excuse was gone, I took a bath at my place of residence in Makkah, intended 'Umrah, and performed it, praise be to Allah. I have heard that I am required to enter ihram from a place called Tan'eem, that my 'Umrah is not accepted, and that I must repeat it a second time, and that I must repeat my Hajj, which I performed more than two years ago. Is there anything required of me in this, O Shaykh?
Answer:
All of this is incorrect, and these are incorrect fatwas. Yes, entering ihram for 'Umrah is not from Makkah, but from al-Hal, outside the Haram. This is what the Prophetic Sunnah states. So, if one intends 'Umrah while in Makkah, he goes out to al-Hal, whether to al-Ja'ranah, 'Arafah, or Tan'eem, and enters ihram for 'Umrah. As for what happened to you, that was a mistake, but your 'Umrah is valid; your 'Umrah is valid. However, you must pay a fidyah by slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor of the Haram. If you cannot do so, you must fast for ten days. Yes.
