The ruling on entering the state of ihram after prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
One of the listening brothers asks and says: If I reach one of the miqat boundaries, should I pray two rak'ahs, or should I enter the state of ihram and then pray after entering ihram?
Answer: There is no clear evidence for praying two rak'ahs at the time of entering ihram, except that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered ihram after prayer. He prayed the midday prayer during the Farewell Pilgrimage and then entered ihram. So some scholars derived from this that it is recommended to enter ihram after prayer. It was also reported in another hadith that Jibril came to him, or a messenger from his Lord came to him, and said: Pray in this blessed valley—meaning the valley of Dhul-Hulayfah—and say: An 'Umrah in a Hajj.
They said: This indicates the legitimacy of praying before entering ihram. Most of the scholars have held this view. The majority of scholars have held that it is legitimate to pray two rak'ahs before entering ihram. If a person performs wudu, prays two rak'ahs for the wudu, and then enters ihram, he combines the two positions: the position of the majority and the sunnah of wudu. Or he enters ihram after an obligatory prayer, such as the midday or afternoon prayer or another, and this agrees with the sunnah, whether for 'Umrah or for Hajj. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
