Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I work in Hufar al-Batin, and my family’s residence is in the Jeddah area. I made the intention while I was in Hufar al-Batin to perform 'Umrah. When I went on leave, I entered the state of ihram from my family’s home and performed 'Umrah. Should I enter ihram from the miqat of Ta'if, or from the home? Please advise us, may Allah preserve you?The Shaykh: But was your intention when you came from Hufar al-Batin to go to your family, or did you intend to perform 'Umrah?The questioner: To go to my family and perform 'Umrah.
The Shaykh: But what was the original reason for your coming on leave?The questioner: The original reason for my coming was to see my family.
The Shaykh: If the original purpose of your coming was to visit your family, go to your family without entering ihram. When you wish to enter ihram, enter it from Jeddah. However, if you came at this time solely for 'Umrah, you must come to the miqat.
The questioner: I originally intended to visit my family, and then I would enter ihram and perform 'Umrah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Because there is a difference between one who is a resident of Jeddah and comes to his residence,We say: If you want to perform 'Umrah, enter ihram from your location in Jeddah. Or a person, for example, who is from al-Qasim and wants to go to Jeddah and Makkah, we say: he must enter ihram from the miqat.
So, based on what I understood from your words, your primary intention is to see your family,So we say: Go to your family, and if you wish to enter ihram, enter it from your location.
