The ruling on a fasting person arriving in Makkah for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He arrived in Makkah while fasting and wishes to perform the 'Umrah with strength. Does he break his fast?
The Shaykh:
He is traveling to his home from Makkah. He arrived in Makkah fasting. He is on the road there. He will stay for a week. If he arrives while fasting, he names the gathering. However, if his stay is four days or less, he does not break his fast. For performing the 'Umrah only, meaning the day of the 'Umrah, the day he performs the 'Umrah upon his arrival, does he break his fast? If his intention is to stay in Makkah for a week or more, he remains fasting. But if his duration in Makkah is four days or less, he may break his fast. Yes. If it is a day of travel, may Allah reward you. No, it is not.
The questioner:
That he stays for more than a week, but on a day of travel, does he have any...?
The Shaykh:
And if he arrives, he holds it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
