Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people come with the intention of 'Umrah, meaning they enter ihram on the plane, but when they arrive in Jeddah, they are forced to go to Madinah. What is required of them?
The Shaykh : He remains in his state of ihram as long as the contract of ihram was made on the plane. Then, if he is told that he must go to Madinah, he goes while in his state of ihram.
The questioner : Is the ihram annulled?
The Shaykh : No, it is not annulled. If he annuls it, he remains in his state of ihram.
The questioner : Does he have to sacrifice an animal?
The Shaykh : Then, if he returns and wants to enter ihram from the miqat of Dhul-Hulayfah, there is nothing for him to do but to exit his state of ihram between Jeddah and Madinah and go out to Dhul-Hulayfah. As for the issue of the obligatory blood sacrifice, he does not have to sacrifice an animal because he was ignorant. Yes, Salim.
The questioner : Regarding the ghusl for women at this time, they are unable to, meaning...
The Shaykh : There is no discussion regarding the ghusl
The questioner : in the state of ihram.
The Shaykh : Yes, but we are at the miqats, we haven't arrived yet. Wait, may Allah reward you with good. And in this, there is a report from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) establishing the use of analogical reasoning (qiyas), because his saying: "to the point opposite your path" means measure this by that. And in it is the fact that if a person comes by plane, he must enter ihram when he passes opposite the miqat below him; it is necessary. And it happened to the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book, I think it is the book of Istighathah, that he mentioned regarding the Dajjals whom the shayatin carry to Makkah, and he mentioned among their errors that they pass over the miqats and do not enter ihram. Glory be to Allah, Allah made this man speak before airplanes existed, because the shayatin pass by them from the miqat, and he said they do not enter ihram, whereas they should have entered ihram if they were truthful.
