Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person to enter the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah from Riyadh, for example, intending to begin the rites, or is this contrary to what is prescribed?
Answer:
It is not prohibited; it is permissible to enter the state of ihram before the miqat. However, the best and most complete way is to enter the state of ihram when passing by the miqat. If one enters the state of ihram before that, there is no harm in doing so, whether for voluntary worship or otherwise. Yes.
