The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I intended to perform Hajj as a mutamatti', but after I finished my 'Umrah, a fire broke out in the camp, so I returned to the city of Riyadh, and I had not yet entered the state of ihram for Hajj. What is the ruling on my action?
The Shaykh:
What is he saying?

The Shaykh:
As long as you did not enter the state of ihram for Hajj, it has no meaning. However, if you had entered the state of ihram for Hajj, it is not permissible for you to exit the state of ihram except in the case of being prevented (ihṣār). That is, if you are prevented, you offer the expiation. If you are prevented, you exit the state of ihram and offer the expiation. But this is not being prevented; you proceed with the rites. Yes.
