The questioner : We entered the state of ihram on the eighth day of Dhu al-Hijjah from Mawali to Mina, and we spent the night in Mina. When the night of Friday, which corresponds to the Day of 'Arafah, arrived, we removed our clothes, meaning our ihram garments, and bathed with water only. Is there any harm in that?
The Shaykh : What I understood from this question is that they left Makkah from Mawali to Mina, and that they did not enter the state of ihram until they were in Mina. This is sufficient, but it is contrary to what is best. The best thing for a person who wants to enter the state of ihram for Hajj while he is in Makkah is not to leave his place until he has entered the state of ihram. This is because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) went out to Mina in the state of ihram, and they had stopped at al-Abtah before ascending.
So, this woman who delayed her entry into the state of ihram until Mina has no deficiency in her Hajj except for the loss of a recommended practice. It would have been better for her if she had entered the state of ihram from the place from which she set out.
