The questioner : Is there a specific prayer for entering the state of ihram?
The Shaykh : The scholars of knowledge (may Allah have mercy on them) differed on this matter. Some said that entering the state of ihram has a specific prayer for it, because Jibril came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said:Sahih al-Bukhari 7343. Others said that it does not have a specific prayer, and that Jibril’s statement to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 2976Sahih (Darussalam), means the obligatory prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the state of ihram after an obligatory prayer. However, if a person wishes, after performing the ritual bath for ihram and the ablution, to pray two rak'ahs as the recommended practice of the ablution, that is better, and the entry into ihram would follow the recommended practice of the ablution. But regarding whether one should declare the intention (talbiyah) when entering the state of ihram or when mounting the mount, some scholars say that one should not declare the intention until mounting, while others say that one should declare the intention when entering the state of ihram, and declare it when mounting, and declare it when the camel rises on the open plain, if one is in the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Madinah.
