The ruling on one who intends to perform 'Umrah after passing the miqat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The message is from the sister Umm Arawa from Shaqra. She says: What is your opinion regarding a person who traveled to visit relatives in the city of Jeddah, and he intended to perform 'Umrah if the opportunity arose to do so? When the opportunity arose, he entered the state of ihram from Jeddah. Is that sufficient? Or do you advise him to do something else? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
He owes nothing as long as he intended this intention: if the opportunity arises, he enters ihram; otherwise, he does not. He did not make a firm decision; he remains undecided with this. So, if Allah facilitates for him to enter ihram from Jeddah, there is no blame on him.
As for the one who firmly decided on 'Umrah from his country, whether from al-Madinah or elsewhere, he must enter ihram from the miqat. If he left al-Madinah intending Jeddah, but also intending 'Umrah, and he firmly decided in al-Madinah that he would perform 'Umrah, then he must enter ihram from the miqat, the miqat of al-Madinah. It is not permissible for him to postpone it until Jeddah. If he postpones it, he must return to al-Madinah, and it is not permissible for him to enter ihram from Jeddah. If he enters ihram from Jeddah, he has sinned, and a sacrificial animal is required of him.
Likewise, if he was in al-Ta'if and went out to Jeddah intending 'Umrah, he is required to return to the miqat. If he enters ihram from Jeddah, a sacrificial animal is required of him to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor. As for the one who did not, who did not make a firm decision, and says: "If it is facilitated for me, if the opportunity arises, I will enter ihram," then there is no blame on him. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
