What is the ruling on making a condition when entering the state of ihram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is mentioning the phrase "my place is where I am detained" a condition of the intention in the rituals of 'Umrah?

Answer:
Yes, if a person is ill when entering the state of ihram and fears that he will not be able to perform the ritual, that his illness will worsen, then he makes a condition and says, "If I am detained by a detainer, then my place is where I am detained," as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed Zubaydah, the daughter of al-Zubayr ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, when she wanted to enter the state of ihram while suffering from an illness, meaning she was sick. She asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to her, "Perform Hajj and make the condition that my place is where I am detained."
If a person fears that he will not be able to perform the ritual because he is ill, or because the road is not safe, or because he fears an enemy on the road who will prevent him from reaching the House, then he makes a condition.
And if he is unable to complete it, he exits the state of ihram and owes nothing, acting in accordance with the condition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And whatever condition you stipulate will be accepted by your Lord.فإن لك على ربك ما اشترطت
Sunan an-Nasa'i 2766Hasan (Darussalam)
or what you have conditioned. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
