The questioner : Also, he asks: How does a traveler enter the state of ihram by air?
The Shaykh : A traveler enters the state of ihram by air, as we mentioned recently.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : That is, when he passes the miqat, he enters the state of ihram, but how should he proceed before entering the state of ihram?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : We say that he should take a ghusl (full ritual bath) in his home and wear the clothes of ihram, whether in his home or in the plane from the moment the plane takes off.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And if he has about half an hour remaining before arriving at the Jeddah airport, let him enter the state of ihram, meaning let him recite the talbiyah and say "Labbaik 'Umrah" if he is entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah, or "Labbaik Hajj" if he is entering the state of ihram for Hajj.
