Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the state of ihram after prayer. Does this imply that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) for a person to intentionally time it with the prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, if it is the time for prayer or close to the time for prayer.
The questioner : Does one begin the journey at the miqat?
The Shaykh : Yes. For example, if one arrives at the miqat in the late morning (duha) and knows that he will not depart from the miqat until after the midday prayer (Dhuhr), we say that it is better not to rush; enter the state of ihram after the prayer.
