Question:
The questioner says: I left my town intending to perform 'Umrah, but when I reached the miqat, I was unable to wear the ihram clothes because they were inside the ship's storage. What should I do now to perform the 'Umrah?
Answer:
My brother, when you reached the miqat, you entered the state of ihram. Ihram is the intention, the intention to enter the rites of the pilgrimage. As for the clothes, if you are able to change and wear the ihram garments, that is obligatory. If you are not able, you enter ihram even if you are wearing your regular clothes. You enter ihram even if you are wearing your clothes. You lighten your clothes and leave what covers your 'awrah. You remove the head covering, you remove what is on your legs, you remove what is on your hands, and you leave what covers your 'awrah.
It is permissible for you to wear trousers if you do not have ihram clothes. You enter ihram in trousers. You take off the thobe and wrap it around yourself, leaving it in the form of a cloak. You take off the thobe and the shirt, remove them, and wrap them over your shoulders and body, and you leave the trousers to cover your 'awrah.
Until you find the ihram clothes. Then, after that, if you find them, you change your clothes, and your ihram is valid. As for now, since you came and did not enter ihram due to your ignorance of this ruling, and you want to perform 'Umrah now, you must return to the miqat you passed. You must return to the miqat you passed when you arrived in Makkah and enter ihram from there. There is nothing on you if you return. Yes.
