The ruling on one who entered the state of ihram from Jeddah while intending to enter ihram from another miqat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter was received for the program from the listener Abdullah Adam Ismail, in which he says: I arrived in Jeddah to perform the obligatory Hajj and intended to visit the city of Madinah, and then we would enter the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Madinah. However, we were unable to do so due to certain official procedures. So I asked the imam of our mosque in the city of pilgrims, and he said: You owe nothing. Then I asked one of the people in Mina, and he said: No, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment); because you did not enter the state of ihram from the miqat. Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If a person arrives in Jeddah with the intention of going to Madinah and then entering the state of ihram from Madinah, but he is unable to do so due to illness or other matters or official affairs that prevent him from going to Madinah, then he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah from his location where he initiated the ihram, and that is sufficient for him, and he owes no fidyah. The one who issued the ruling of fidyah was mistaken. You owe no fidyah; because you initiated the ihram from Jeddah... Jeddah. When you passed the miqat, you did not intend to enter the state of ihram from the miqat; you intended to enter the state of ihram from Madinah, you intended to go to Madinah and enter the state of ihram from the miqat of Madinah. So you are excused, because when you were prevented from Madinah, you initiated the ihram anew from your location. So entering the state of ihram from your location is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, and you owe nothing. And so it is with others; if a person comes from Najd and passes the miqat going to Madinah, and his intention is to go there and enter the state of ihram from Madinah, and then he is prevented from Madinah—whether he was prevented when he reached Jeddah, or when he reached Rabigh, or when he was prevented from Madinah—he enters the state of ihram from the location where he was prevented, and praise be to Allah. And so it is with one who comes from Yemen or from the Levant, from any direction; the point is, if he comes with the intention of entering the state of ihram from Madinah, and then he is prevented from Madinah, he enters the state of ihram from the location where he was prevented, whether Jeddah or elsewhere. Yes.
