The questioner : ... Does it not indicate that the declaration of intent (ihram) is to be made after the prayer?
The Shaykh : Regarding the fact that the declaration of intent (ihram) is after the prayer, they say that the conjunction “wa” (and) does not imply sequence; the conjunction “wa” does not imply sequence. In any case, it is apparent in this, but it is not explicit. So, once it is established that he did not declare his intent (ihram) until his mount was steady on the open plain, when he was steady on his mount, we take that as the ruling.
