The questioner : May Allah reward you. Some pilgrims arrive from Morocco, stay in Jeddah, then go to Madinah, and then enter the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Madinah?
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct. That is, some pilgrims arrive in Jeddah intending to go to Madinah, and then when they return, they enter the state of ihram from Dhu al-Hulayfah. There is nothing wrong with that, and there is no issue with it. But if they are prevented from going to Madinah, as sometimes happens, from where should they enter the state of ihram? Do we say that it is obligatory for them to go to the miqat, and the nearest miqat to them is Rabigh, or do they enter the state of ihram from Jeddah? The answer is that they enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, because they only formed the intention to perform Hajj from Jeddah, and initially they had passed the miqat on their way of travel. Yes.
