You mentioned that the one who wants to perform 'Umrah or Hajj by air, and whose ihram clothes are in the luggage, should make his garment an izar and wrap himself in it. Is there any harm if...

The questioner : He says: "Your Eminence, the Shaykh, you mentioned in the previous meeting that the one who wants to perform Hajj or 'Umrah by air, and whose ihram clothes are in the luggage, should make his garment an izar and wrap himself in it. He says: 'O Your Eminence, the Shaykh! If he wears the ihram clothes from his home, and when he passes the miqat, he recites the talbiyah for Hajj or 'Umrah, is there any harm? And is this the better option?'"

The Shaykh : There is no harm in a person wearing the ihram clothes from his home if he intends to travel by plane. Then, when he approaches the miqat, he enters ihram, and there is nothing wrong with that. It is not said that this man entered ihram before the miqat, because he did not enter ihram. Entering ihram is not wearing the rida and the izar; entering ihram is forming the intention, and he has not formed his intention. However, some people do not like to be wearing the ihram clothes in the airport and in front of people, and they wear them inside the plane. Yes.
