Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He wants to perform Hajj, if Allah wills, this year, but he wants to go to the city of Jeddah first. Is it permissible for him to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah?
The Shaykh : Whoever wants to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, it is obligatory for him, if he passes the first miqat, to enter the state of ihram from it. Because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated the miqats, he said: Therefore, it is not permissible for one who passes the miqat while intending Hajj or 'Umrah to pass the miqat without entering the state of ihram.
The matter is easy. If he enters the state of ihram from the miqat and arrives in Jeddah, he goes up to Makkah, and within three hours, or less, or slightly more, he returns to Jeddah after performing his 'Umrah. He stays there until the time for Hajj comes. When the time for Hajj comes, he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah. Yes.
