The place of entering ihram for 'Umrah for one who has resided in Jeddah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: We are not from this city, and we stayed there for a few days. Our intention to perform 'Umrah was formed before we returned to our region, and we have a few days left before our return. Should we enter ihram from our home, or should we return to the miqat?
Answer:
There is a distinction here. If you initiated the 'Umrah from here, from Jeddah, then you enter ihram from your home. However, if you intended the 'Umrah from your home country, you are considered to have passed the miqat, so you must return to the miqat and enter ihram from there. As for if you did not intend the 'Umrah until after your stay in Jeddah—for example, if you said, "We are going to Jeddah, and if Allah makes it easy, or if the duration extends, we will perform an 'Umrah"—then in this case, your ruling is the ruling of the people of Jeddah: you enter ihram from there. We will suffice with this much. We ask Allah the Exalted to grant us and you success in beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. And may peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
