Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All right, there is a question here: if a man enters the state of ihram and says, "Labbaik Allahumma 'Umrah, and it is up to me to exit the state of ihram whenever I wish," is this condition valid?
The questioner : It is not valid.
The Shaykh : Why? Because it contradicts the requirement of the state of ihram, which is the obligation to proceed in the state of ihram and that you are not given a choice. It is not you who arranges the rulings of the Shari'ah; the one who arranges the rulings of the Shari'ah is Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His Messenger. So if you say this, this condition is not valid.
