The questioner : A man came from Egypt for 'Umrah, and while he was in Madinah, he felt severely ill. Then he entered the state of ihram from Dhu al-Hulayfah, and his illness worsened. He woke up in the hospital and had already exited his state of ihram. What is the ruling, and is it permissible for him to enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'im after he recovers?
The Shaykh : Illness does not obligate a person to exit his state of ihram. He can remain in his state of ihram while he is ill. This man’s situation is the same; that is, even if he was taken to the hospital and treated, and then he recovered, he remains in his state of ihram. He enters Makkah, performs tawaf, performs sa'y, and shortens his hair. There is no need for him to enter the state of ihram from al-Tan'im because he is still in his state of ihram.
