And whoever performs Hajj from among the people of Mecca, he enters the state of ihram from there
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then the author said "And whoever performs Hajj from among the people of Mecca, he enters the state of ihram from there, and his 'Umrah is from al-Hil". Whoever performs Hajj from among the people of Mecca enters the state of ihram from there, meaning from Mecca. That is, he enters the state of ihram from Mecca, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he designated the miqat boundaries: Sahih al-Bukhari 1524 Here, we should take from this hadith that whoever is located before these miqat boundaries enters the state of ihram from his current location. For example, the people of al-Sharai' on the road to the people of Najd: if they wish to enter the state of ihram, do we say, "Go back to al-Qarn al-Manazil and enter the state of ihram from there," or do we say, "Enter the state of ihram from your current location"? From your current location. What about the people of Jeddah? We say, "Enter the state of ihram from your location," and there is no need for you to go to al-Juhfah or to Dhu al-Hulayfah. Whoever is before these miqat boundaries enters the state of ihram from where he begins. Look at this Prophetic expression: he said, and he did not say "from his town," because one might be before the miqat of his town but currently in another place other than his town. So he forms the intention for 'Umrah or Hajj, and we say, "Enter the state of ihram from where you began." As for the people of Mecca in the hadith, Sahih al-Bukhari 1845 the people of Mecca enter the state of ihram from Mecca. And the author's statement, "whoever performs Hajj from among the people of Mecca, he enters the state of ihram from there", does not carry a specific implication regarding the phrase "from among the people of Mecca." I mean, if someone performs Hajj from Mecca, whether he is from among its people or not, his entering the state of ihram is from Mecca. Therefore, the phrase does not carry a specific implication, even if the phrase had been "whoever performs Hajj from Mecca, he enters the state of ihram from there."
