Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
The questioner : How are you, Uncle Shaykh?
The Shaykh : May Allah welcome you.
The questioner : May you be well every year.
The Shaykh : And may you be well too. May Allah bless you.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. I say, my brother, if Allah wills, I intend to perform Hajj, and I want to go down to Makkah without entering the state of ihram. Is that possible?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, my brother. It is not permissible. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated the miqat times, and obligated anyone who passes through them intending Hajj or 'Umrah to enter the state of ihram.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for a person to delay entering the state of ihram and thereby transgress the limits of Allah.
The questioner : Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh : Indeed,[At-Talaq 65:1]. Yes.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah has certainly wronged himself
