Entering the state of ihram by pointing to the miqat after performing ghusl beforehand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man went to perform 'Umrah and rented a room before the miqat. He performed ghusl and put on his ihram clothes. Then, when he passed the miqat, he pointed to it and entered into the rites. Is his action valid?
Answer:
Why does he point to it? What is the need for pointing? Pointing to the Black Stone for tawaf from a distance is pointing to the Black Stone. As for the miqat, it is not pointed to. But when he is opposite it, he recites the talbiyah, reciting the talbiyah for Hajj or for 'Umrah. This is the ihram. Ihram is the intention to enter into the rites, meaning he intends it in his heart and recites the talbiyah. Yes.
