Ruling on entering Makkah without entering the state of ihram for one who frequently visits it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the listening brothers asks for your guidance on some matters. He says: Turki Na'im says: I pass through the Noble Makkah frequently, and sometimes I pass by the Noble House, and I pray in it, and I perform tawaf only without the intention of 'Umrah, wearing my clothes. Sometimes I only pray and do not perform tawaf. Is this permissible, or is it obligatory for me to enter the state of ihram whenever I intend to visit the Noble House? I have performed Hajj twice and 'Umrah several times.
Answer:
All of this is permissible. There is no harm in a person coming to Makkah without entering the state of ihram, and performing tawaf or praying without tawaf. There is leeway in all of this. 'Umrah and Hajj are obligatory only once in a lifetime, or by vow if one makes a vow.
As for one who has performed the obligatory Hajj and 'Umrah and has not made a vow, he enters Makkah without entering the state of ihram, and there is no harm in this according to the correct view. This is based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he designated the miqats, where he said:Sahih Muslim 1181a This indicates that one who does not intend to perform Hajj or 'Umrah owes nothing if he passes by them. He enters like other people without entering the state of ihram. If he wishes, he prays in the Haram, or prays in some of the other mosques. If he wishes, he performs tawaf or leaves off tawaf. There is leeway in this matter.
However, he should seize the opportunity. It is prescribed for him to perform tawaf and to pray in the Sacred Mosque with the people, seizing the opportunity and the great virtue. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah bless you.

هن لهن، ولمن أتى عليهن من غير أهلهن، ممن أراد الحج والعمرةHowever, he should seize the opportunity. It is prescribed for him to perform tawaf and to pray in the Sacred Mosque with the people, seizing the opportunity and the great virtue. Yes.
