What is the ruling on passing the miqat without entering the state of ihram while on a plane?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: We wore the clothes of ihram at the Riyadh airport, and when we passed the miqat, we did not notice it,
The Shaykh : There is no power and no strength.
The questioner : and we neglected the intention. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh : My brothers, this issue and this problem occur very frequently among people. The reason for that is that a person, may Allah guide us and you, does not ask the scholars when he intends to perform the rites of pilgrimage. How strange it is that if a person wants to travel to a country, he asks about the way to it. Britain. Where is the way to it and how do we get there? But if he wants to travel to his Lord through righteous deeds, he does not ask about the way. Yes. He walks with the people; he hears people say something, so he says it. If these people had asked the people of knowledge before they began the work, no, that is a lie. But I say:
If a person wants to travel by plane and wants to be safe from falling into this problem, he should assume he is landing in his country. His country. And he wears the clothes of ihram. And when he boards the plane, there is no harm in entering the state of ihram immediately. That is, there is no harm in saying "Labbaik Allahumma Labbaik" (Here I am, O Allah, here I am). Because entering the state of ihram before the miqat as a precaution is better than neglecting the ihram until he passes it. You passed it. What is the miqat? So you do not wait; you do not say, "I will wait until the plane passes the airport." And the fast plane is fast. That is, two minutes may pass and it has covered a large distance, passing the miqat. Welcome. No limit. Peace. From that, we say: Good. And if it is a precaution. Yes, yes.
As for the one who did not enter the state of ihram until he passed the miqat, the scholars say that if a man enters the state of ihram after passing the miqat, he must pay a fidyah (ransom payment) by slaughtering an animal in Makkah and distributing it to the poor.
