Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Abu Rushad's daughter, her cousin, for the sake of Umm al-Wafa.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner: How are you, my uncle?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: I want to ask you; I want to go, if Allah wills, for 'Umrah, my husband and I.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: But I have brothers there and a sister.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: So I want to go to them first, meaning, and then intend the 'Umrah.
The Shaykh: Where are they there?
The questioner: They are in Jeddah. The Shaykh: No, it is not permissible to go to Jeddah unless you and your husband are in the state of ihram.
The questioner: We will be in the state of ihram!
The Shaykh: Are you going by plane or by car?
The questioner: By plane.
The Shaykh: By plane?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: You have to enter the state of ihram before the plane reaches the level of the city.
The questioner: Before the plane reaches the city?
The Shaykh: It naturally will not land in the city, right?
The questioner: Yes, it does not land.
The Shaykh: Yes, I am telling you, you have to enter the state of ihram before the plane arrives.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Level with the city.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Meaning, the plane does not pass the city unless you are in the state of ihram.
The questioner: Okay, I am confused, meaning, what should the ihram be like for me?
The Shaykh: If it is your custom to wear the niqab.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: The niqab is not permissible.
The questioner: No, I do not like the niqab, but I wear the shayla.
The Shaykh: Yes, but what?
The questioner: I wear the shayla, meaning, no niqab.
The Shaykh: Good, and then, do not wear gloves if it is your custom to wear gloves, meaning, the hand coverings.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 20:17.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: These are the only things regarding the woman's ihram: her face and her two hands.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Meaning, it is not permissible for her to cover her face, nor is it permissible for her to cover her two hands.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: She did not do that with her hijab.
The questioner: But?
The Shaykh : But.
The questioner: But just intend the intention?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner: Meaning, just intend the intention?
The Shaykh: Just intend the intention and say: Labbaik Allahumma bi 'Umrah.
The questioner : Yes.
