Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says: If one is engaged in any of the rulings of Hajj or 'Umrah, is it permissible for him to leave Makkah for Jeddah or al-Ta'if?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. There is nothing wrong if he is in a state of ihram and remains in his ihram. And if he has exited the state of ihram after 'Umrah and went to al-Sharai' or to Jeddah or to al-Ta'if, there is nothing wrong with that. He returns when he returns and enters the state of ihram with the people on the eighth day. So, for example, if you arrived on the third day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, and you performed 'Umrah, then you went to Jeddah and stayed there, when do you enter the state of ihram? You enter the state of ihram on the eighth day with the people. But you enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, meaning you do not leave Jeddah unless you are in a state of ihram. However, if during this period you visited Makkah, either to visit your brothers or for some other purpose, are you required to enter the state of ihram? No. You are not required to enter the state of ihram except on the eighth day. Yes.
