The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, his Companions, and those who follow them in excellence until the Day of Judgment. The boundaries (miqat) are of two types?
The questioner : Temporal and spatial.
The Shaykh : What are the temporal ones?
The questioner : According to the author, the temporal ones are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah, and the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. However, the correct view is that they are three full months: Dhu al-Qa'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and the month before Dhu al-Qa'dah.
The Shaykh : Now, regarding the spatial ones, Zuhayr?
The questioner : The spatial ones are five locations: al-Yamlamul, al-Qarn, Dhu al-Hulayfah, al-Juhfah, and Dhat 'Irq.
The Shaykh : What is the ruling on performing Hajj before the temporal boundaries? If one enters the state of ihram for Hajj before the temporal boundaries, meaning he enters ihram for Hajj in Ramadan?
The questioner : There are two opinions. The second opinion is that it is not valid...
The Shaykh : Some scholars said that the ihram for Hajj is valid, but it is disliked. Now, what is the second opinion?
The questioner : It is valid.
The Shaykh : This is what we said: it is valid, though disliked.
The questioner : The second opinion is that it is not valid.
The Shaykh : The second opinion is that it does not become Hajj, but becomes 'Umrah, if one enters ihram before the spatial boundary? Meaning, he enters ihram from Madinah, for example, passing by Dhu al-Hulayfah?
The questioner : There is no harm in that.
The Shaykh : Is there no harm? Meaning, is it permissible? Yes, the one who raised his hand.
The questioner : It is disliked.
The Shaykh : It is disliked, but the ihram is valid? The ihram is valid. Now, if one is in an airplane, is it better to delay the ihram until he arrives in Jeddah, or should he enter ihram when he passes the boundary?
The questioner: ...
The Shaykh : Meaning, is this the better course?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, this is the correct view that it is better. Now, is entering ihram obligatory or recommended?
The questioner : It is obligatory to enter ihram...
The Shaykh : It is obligatory to enter ihram. What is the evidence for the obligation of entering ihram when one passes by the boundary or aligns with it?
The questioner : The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said The witness .
The Shaykh : This is evidence that one enters ihram when he aligns with it, but what is the evidence for the obligation of entering ihram from the boundary or from aligning with it?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, this does not have...
The questioner : That the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saidSahih al-Bukhari 1526.
The Shaykh : The hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, who said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sayJami` at-Tirmidhi 831Sahih (Darussalam) This is a statement in the form of a command. Now, is there a witness to the occurrence of a statement in the form of a command?
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh. The saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Baqarah 2:228] This is a statement in the form of a command.
The Shaykh : Okay. Now, is there evidence that if one is in an airplane and aligns with the boundary, he must enter ihram from it?
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh. The generality of the hadithSahih al-Bukhari 1524.
The Shaykh : This is what came to them; between them and them were nineteen thousand feet.
The questioner : ... They came to 'Umar ... when they asked him about their boundary ... if they align with it ...
The Shaykh : He said "Look at the point on your path that aligns with it" And also the statement of the Shaykh al-Islam that if a person passes the boundary by air, he is obligated to enter ihram from it.
The questioner : The Shaykh al-Islam said that entering ihram in the air is not valid.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The Shaykh al-Islam said that entering ihram in the air is not valid.
The Shaykh : He said entering ihram in the air is not valid? We say he stated that it is obligatory to enter ihram in the air.
The questioner : He spoke about the sorcerers.
The Shaykh : That the jinn fly with them and they do not enter ihram except in the Haram. He said "Among their extravagances is that they pass the boundary without entering ihram" If he passes the boundary and does not enter ihram, while he is obligated to enter ihram, what does he do?
The questioner : He must offer a sacrifice, and he enters ihram from his location, because he left an obligatory act.
The Shaykh : He must offer a sacrifice and enter ihram from his location. I made a mistake, Salama?
The questioner : He must return.
The Shaykh : And enter ihram from the boundary. If he is unable to do so, he must offer a sacrifice, enter ihram from his location, and offer a sacrifice. This is the correct view: he must return to enter ihram from the boundary. If he is unable to do so, he enters ihram from his location and offers a sacrifice.
Then the author (may Allah have mercy on him) said "Chapter on Ihram".
