Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I intended to enter the state of ihram from Riyadh, and I wore the ihram garments. On the plane, sleep overtook me, and I did not become aware of myself until I was at Jeddah Airport. What is required of me, knowing that I have already performed the tawaf and sa'y?
Answer:
Merely wearing the ihram garments without the intention of entering the rites does not count as ihram. However, if you intended to enter the rites, you have entered ihram, even if it was in Riyadh. As for merely wearing the ihram garments without intending ihram, that is preparation for ihram; it is not ihram and is not called ihram. Ihram is the intention to enter the rites. Since you say that you wore the ihram garments in Riyadh but did not intend ihram, and were only preparing for it, if they had alerted you to the approach of the miqat, you would have intended to enter the rites. You slept and were not alerted, so you did not enter ihram from the miqat. Rather, you must return to the miqat.
And enter ihram from the one you passed. Is there anything required of you? If you entered ihram from a point before it to Makkah, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you, because you left a duty among the duties, or a pillar, of the 'Umrah. You left a pillar of the pillars of 'Umrah, which is entering ihram from the miqat. This is obligatory; the ihram itself is a pillar, and entering ihram from the miqat is a duty. And whoever leaves a duty must offer a sacrifice. Yes.
