The questioner : The honorable Shaykh is asked: With these incidents and disasters, is it recommended that we make a condition when entering the state of ihram?
The Shaykh : I see that a person should not make a condition when entering the state of ihram, because these incidents—praise be to Allah—are few in number relative to the pilgrims, and few in number relative to the years in which they occur. In which year do they happen? Likewise, relative to the pilgrims, there are approximately two million pilgrims. Not one of them was harmed, nor even one hundred thousand. The misfortunes are few—praise be to Allah—and it is better for a person not to make a condition, in order to follow the Sunnah, to place his reliance upon Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and to seek reward in the event that an incident occurs, than for him to make a condition. However, we do not prohibit him from making a condition. Rather, we say: It is better not to make a condition, and if you do make a condition, there is nothing wrong with it.
Yes.
