The questioner : Also, he says: We performed 'Umrah in the month of Ramadan, and we entered the state of ihram after arriving at Jeddah Airport. We were ignorant and did not do it intentionally, as the taxi driver took us to a place in Jeddah with a small mosque, and we entered the state of ihram from there. Is our ihram valid? If not, is anything required of us? Thank you.
The Shaykh : Your ihram is valid, but you made a mistake by not entering the state of ihram from the miqat, as you delayed it until Jeddah. Based on your ignorance, nothing is required of you; you owe nothing, such as a fidyah or otherwise. However, you must not return to such a practice, and you should enter the state of ihram from the vicinity of the miqat while you are on the plane.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
