Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the one who performs Hajj by air, if he takes the precautionary measure due to the speed of the airplane and enters the state of ihram before reaching the miqat?
The Shaykh : Yes, for the one who is in the airplane, we see that he should take precaution, meaning he should enter the state of ihram five minutes early, because if he delays until he is opposite the miqat, the airplane covers a long distance in one minute. For this reason, we say: take precaution. And then, those in charge of the airplane, may Allah reward them with good, announce before reaching the miqat, first half an hour or a third of an hour, then ten minutes.
The questioner : Now, if he enters the state of ihram at the beginning of his ascent in the airplane, is that disliked for him?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is not the best. It is not the best. The scholars said: it is disliked to enter the state of ihram before the miqat, and there is no need for precaution here. For example, if he is from al-Qasim, the precaution is that if he passes half an hour, he enters the state of ihram and recites the talbiyah. Yes.
