Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence is aware that some doctors are assigned to work in serving the pilgrims during the Hajj period. Is it permissible for a doctor assigned to work to enter the state of ihram from his place of work in Makkah?
Answer:
Yes, he may enter the state of ihram if he entered without entering the state of ihram, having no intention to do so, and only later decided to enter the state of ihram. He enters the state of ihram from his location outside the Haram, from 'Arafah if he is there, or from al-Ja'ranah if it is for 'Umrah.
As for if it is for Hajj, he enters the state of ihram from his location, even if it is in Mina. If he is in Mina, he enters the state of ihram from his location if it is for Hajj, on the condition that he entered without having the intention.
As for if he was inside when he passed the miqat and was intending to enter the state of ihram, he enters the state of ihram from the miqat. And if he did not enter the state of ihram, he returns to it and enters the state of ihram from there.
As for if he did not, and came for work without having the intention of Hajj or 'Umrah, and then it occurred to him, he is permitted to perform Hajj or 'Umrah. If it is 'Umrah, he enters the state of ihram from the halal area for 'Umrah: al-Ja'ranah, al-Tan'eem, or 'Arafah, from outside the Haram, outside the miles. He goes out to the halal area and enters the state of ihram from the halal area. As for if it is Hajj, he enters the state of ihram from his location in Mina on the eighth day, or on the Day of 'Arafah, or in 'Arafah he enters the state of ihram from there, and praise be to Allah.
Q: All right, what if the authority that sent him does not permit him to perform Hajj?
The Shaykh: He does not enter the state of ihram. If they did not permit him, he does not enter the state of ihram. He works and does not enter the state of ihram. He must obey and listen; because if he does not enter the state of ihram, he will be more free for the work.
