Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the one who performs Hajj by air—by plane—if he takes the precautionary measure due to the speed of the plane and enters the state of ihram before reaching the miqat! And what is the ruling on entering the state of ihram at the beginning of the plane's ascent?
Yes! We see that the one who is in the plane should take a precautionary measure,Meaning: entering the state of ihram five minutes before; because if he delays until he is opposite the miqat, the plane covers a long distance in one minute.Therefore, we say: Take a precautionary measure, and so the people in charge of the plane, may Allah reward them with good, announce before reaching the miqat, first half an hour or a third of an hour, then ten minutes.
As for entering the state of ihram at the beginning of the plane's ascent, by Allah, it is not better.The scholars said: It is disliked to enter the state of ihram before the miqat, and there is no need for a precautionary measure here.For example: If he is from al-Qasim, the precautionary measure is that if half an hour has passed, he enters the state of ihram; he recites the talbiyah.
