The Ruling on Entering Ihram from Jeddah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on entering ihram from Jeddah for one coming for the purpose of Hajj or 'Umrah?The Shaykh: Where is he coming from? The one who entered ihram from Jeddah, where is he coming from?The questioner: He is coming from outside, from Sudan, or from the West, or from Africa.
The Shaykh: If he is coming from a country where he reaches Jeddah before passing the miqat boundaries, such as one who comes directly from Sudan, he enters ihram from Jeddah; because he reaches Jeddah before passing Rabigh and before passing Yalamlam. As for the one who comes from the north or the south, he enters ihram when he passes the miqat. Likewise, the one who comes from the east; for example, the one who comes from Riyadh enters ihram when he passes Qarn al-Manazil in Ta'if, and the one who comes from al-Qasim passes by Madinah, so he enters ihram from Dhul Hulayfah. Thus, no one coming by plane enters ihram from Jeddah except those who come directly from the West.And the scholars are like them: Regarding the people of Suakin in Sudan, he said: These people reach Jeddah before passing the miqat boundaries.
