Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And Allah, regarding the question, O uncle of the Shaykh. Yes. I performed Hajj several years ago. And I went from Riyadh to Jeddah on the basis of visiting, uh, my wife's mother. Yes. With the intention of visiting first, and then it was in my intention that I would go to Madinah and go out from where? From the miqat.
The Shaykh : From Abqaiq, from Abqaiq.
The questioner : Yes, that was my intention, but when I went to visit my wife's mother in Jeddah, I asked one of the sheikhs there, I mean.
The Shaykh : No.
The questioner : So he informed me, he said to me, you can enter ihram from Jeddah. He said to me, you can enter ihram from Jeddah and go from Jeddah to Makkah. Is that correct? Then I asked another Shaykh to be sure, and he said to me, it is not valid unless you must go out from the land of the miqat.
The Shaykh : Okay, when you go from Riyadh.
The questioner : You went from Riyadh to Jeddah.
The Shaykh : Do you want to perform Hajj or do you want to visit?
The questioner : First visiting my wife's mother, and then going out for Hajj.
The Shaykh : You intended Hajj, you intended Hajj, I mean?
The questioner : I intended it, yes, but with the intention of visiting first, and then I would go out from.
The Shaykh : You must enter ihram from the miqat.
The questioner : Well, I did not do what was in that part based on the opinion of another one, I mean.
The Shaykh : Okay, the one who gave you the fatwa, is he a Shaykh? A Shaykh? A Shaykh? Or just a layman from the people?
The questioner : From Jeddah, yes, and I entered ihram from Jeddah.
The Shaykh : I am telling you, the one who told you to enter ihram from Jeddah is wrong.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, and as for you, there is nothing on you, you owe nothing, because you did what Allah obligated upon you by following the people of knowledge, and Allah the Exalted says:[An-Nahl 16:43], and if a person is given a fatwa by a mufti and he errs, there is no sin on the one who asked the question, the one who asked the question has no blame on him and no sin on him,
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : the sin, if there is a sin, is on the one who gave him the fatwa.
The questioner : All right, that is fine, okay.
The Shaykh : From Abqaiq, from Abqaiq.
The questioner : Yes, that was my intention, but when I went to visit my wife's mother in Jeddah, I asked one of the sheikhs there, I mean.
