If a person performing tamattu' completes his 'Umrah, then visits the Prophet's Mosque or goes to Ta'if and then returns, is he required to enter the state of ihram when he returns to Makkah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If one visits the Prophet's Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him) between 'Umrah and Hajj, or goes to Ta'if, is he required to enter the state of ihram when he returns to Makkah, given that he is performing tamattu'?
The Shaykh : He is not required to enter the state of ihram. That is, if a person performing tamattu' completes his 'Umrah and leaves Makkah for Ta'if, or Jeddah, or Madinah, and then returns, he is not required to enter the state of ihram for Hajj because he has returned to his base. When he came as a pilgrim, his base became Makkah. So if he travels to Madinah and then returns, he has returned to his base. He will enter the state of ihram for Hajj on the Day of Tarwiyah.
It is as if he were a resident of Makkah who went to Madinah during the months of Hajj and then returned from Madinah, intending to perform Hajj that year. In that case, he is not required to enter the state of ihram for Hajj. Yes, very well, go ahead.
