The Ruling on Wearing Ihram from the House and the Intention When Reaching the Miqat

Question:
The questioner, Abdullah from al-Ta'if, says: Honorable Shaykh, if my home is about forty kilometers away from the miqat, and I intend to perform 'Umrah or Hajj, then I take a bath at home and perform wudu for prayer, then I pray two rak'ahs of the sunnah of wudu, and I wear the ihram clothes from home. When I reach the level of the miqat, I enter the rites with the intention and the talbiyah, without stopping at the miqat. Is my action correct?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with preparing for ihram in your home, if it is before the miqat, by wearing the ihram clothes, taking a bath, and performing wudu. When you reach the miqat, you intend to enter ihram and recite the talbiyah, even if you do not stop or enter the mosque at the miqat. It is sufficient that when you reach the level of the miqat and pass by it, you intend in your heart to enter ihram and recite the talbiyah. Yes.
