The Ruling on One Who Arrives for 'Umrah Without Entering the State of Ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says that he is a resident of the Kingdom and has come from the people of Sham. He says: "I and my family, we came from Sham by plane with the intention of performing 'Umrah and staying. We said, 'Labbaik Allahumma 'Umrah.' But a barrier held me back until the end of that. However, due to the confusion, we did not wear the ihram clothes and we did not perform 'Umrah. We are now among the poor of Makkah. The question is: Is it obligatory for us to fast ten days instead of slaughtering a sheep, as we have heard? And is it obligatory for us to perform a substitute 'Umrah for that?"
The Shaykh:
Yes, if you entered the state of ihram from the miqat and you said the talbiyah for 'Umrah, then the ihram is established. It is obligatory for you to perform the 'Umrah, that is, the sa'y and the shortening of the hair or shaving, even if you did not take off the clothes. Leaving the sewn clothes on, in the case of men, is one of the prohibitions of ihram. But you left them on out of ignorance or forgetfulness, so there is nothing on you for that. If you deliberately wore the sewn clothes while knowing that it is not permissible, then a fidyah (ransom payment) is due on you. You have the choice between slaughtering a sheep for the poor in Makkah, or feeding six poor people, half a sa' for each poor person, or fasting for three days. This is if you deliberately wore the sewn clothes in the case of men. As for if you forgot, then there is nothing on you. In any case, it is obligatory for you to perform the 'Umrah for which you entered the state of ihram; it is not dropped from you, and you are still in the state of ihram. You perform the 'Umrah. If intercourse took place, then the 'Umrah is defective. You perform it even though it is defective, you slaughter a sheep in Makkah, each of you, and you go out to the miqat from which you first entered the state of ihram. You enter the state of ihram for a new 'Umrah to make up for the defective 'Umrah, and you perform it. Yes.
The questioner:
And the import in this case, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
What barrier held them back? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
