Is it permissible to enter Makkah without entering the state of ihram for one who does not intend to perform Hajj or 'Umrah?

Question:
Khalid from Riyadh, please go ahead, Khalid. Peace be upon you, Shaykh. And upon you be peace. I have a question; I am going. Oh, Khalid. Khalid, turn the television down a bit because there is an echo in the microphone. Turn the television down, please. Please. Okay, I have a question. I am going to Makkah on a business trip. It will probably take three or four days. So, is he required to enter Makkah in the state of ihram, or without ihram? Okay, the Shaykh will answer.

Answer:
If you want to perform 'Umrah and you want the reward and the recompense, then you enter the state of ihram from the miqat that you pass and you perform the 'Umrah. But if you do not want to perform 'Umrah, and you only want to work and do not want to perform 'Umrah, then you are not required to enter the state of ihram. You enter without ihram. Ihram is for the one who intends Hajj or 'Umrah. Yes.
