Where do the residents of Jeddah enter ihram from if they intend to perform Hajj or 'Umrah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We see our brothers who reside in Jeddah, for example, that when they intend to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, they come to Makkah and then perform 'Umrah at Tan'im, or they designate the miqat at Tan'im. Is this correct, or what?
The Shaykh : This requires a detailed explanation. If a person resides in Jeddah and goes down to Makkah for a purpose other than 'Umrah or Hajj, and then while in Makkah he decides to enter ihram, we say: he should enter ihram from Tan'im or from 'Arafah; the important thing is that he enters from the lowest point of al-Haram. As for the one who intends to perform 'Umrah and is from the people of Jeddah, it is obligatory for him to enter ihram from Jeddah, and he should not delay it. Yes, that is correct.
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
