The ruling on delaying entering the state of ihram past the miqat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This questioner, Abu 'Abdullah from Britain, says: My question is for the Honorable Shaykh (may Allah preserve him). I made a visit to the Kingdom, coming from London to Jeddah, then to Ha'il. We arrived in Jeddah at eight in the evening. The trip to Ha'il is tomorrow morning at eight in the morning. While I was at Jeddah Airport, I entered the state of ihram on my way to Makkah, as I was unable to obtain the ihram garments on the plane. I know that I had the intention of ihram since we passed by the miqat over Egypt, according to the announcement by the flight attendant. My intention was 'Umrah from London when I did not find a connecting flight from Jeddah to Ha'il in a short time, and since I saw that it was possible for me to benefit from that time at the airport, as I was at Jeddah Airport before continuing the trip tomorrow. Is my 'Umrah complete and valid?
Answer:
Your 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills, but you made a mistake in delaying the ihram until Jeddah, because you intended 'Umrah before you reached the miqat, indeed from your departure from London, and you were intending 'Umrah. So your delaying the ihram until Jeddah is a mistake. I was supposed to enter ihram when I passed the miqat, unless you were intending to go to Ha'il on your arrival before going to Makkah. But you say that you intended 'Umrah, and your intention was confirmed when you saw the delay of the flight to Ha'il. In any case, your 'Umrah is valid, and you owe a fidyah (ransom payment), which you slaughter in Makkah and distribute to the poor of the Haram.
The presenter:
Yes. May Allah reward you
