The ruling on praying two rak'ahs when entering ihram from the miqat

Is it true that the prayer we perform in the mosque at the miqat for the intention of 'Umrah or Hajj is a religious innovation?
Answer: It is not a religious innovation; rather, the majority of scholars hold that it is a recommended practice (sunnah). Most scholars of knowledge consider it a recommended practice to pray two rak'ahs before entering ihram. However, there is no clear evidence for it, and some scholars do not consider it a recommended practice. The matter is broad in this regard, and it is not an innovation. If one performs wudu, prays two rak'ahs, and then enters ihram, there is nothing wrong with it. If one enters ihram without the two rak'ahs, there is nothing wrong with that either. The matter is broad in this. It is established that a messenger came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) from his Lord and said: meaning: in the valley of Dhul-Hulaifah, the miqat of the people of Madinah. Some scholars used this as evidence that one should pray when entering ihram, because the messenger who came to him from his Lord said: , and because he entered ihram after the prayer, after the midday prayer (Zuhr) in the Farewell Pilgrimage, peace and blessings be upon him. So if one performs wudu, prays two rak'ahs—the recommended practice of wudu—and then enters ihram, that is good. The majority say... the majority of scholars say: it is recommended that one pray two rak'ahs, meaning: before entering ihram, and they argue with the hadith...
The presenter: Before entering ihram.
The Shaykh: Yes... before he utters the talbiyah, meaning. Even if it is after the ghusl for ihram, he puts on his izar and rida, prepares, applies perfume, prays two rak'ahs, and then utters the talbiyah after mounting his mount or car. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not enter ihram except after he had mounted his mount. So the recommended practice for the believer is not to utter the talbiyah and not to intend 'Umrah and Hajj except after mounting the car. When he mounts and settles in it, he utters the talbiyah for whatever he intended of Hajj or 'Umrah or both. This is the best for him. As long as he is on the ground, he does not intend and does not utter the talbiyah; this is the best. So when he has put on his izar and rida and finished his ghusl and perfume, he mounts and then utters the talbiyah for his Hajj or 'Umrah. And so the woman, when she has finished everything, mounts the car and then utters the talbiyah, following the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And whoever prays before that, praying two rak'ahs at the miqat or in his home if he is close to the miqat, like the people of Ta'if and similar to them, or those who enter ihram from Jeddah and similar to them who are before the miqat, if he performs wudu and prays two rak'ahs, that is good. It is the recommended practice of wudu, and it agrees with the opinion of the majority, and it agrees with the action of (peace and blessings be upon him), for he entered ihram after he prayed in the Farewell Pilgrimage. He prayed the midday prayer (Zuhr) and then entered ihram, peace and blessings be upon him. And also the generality of the fact that a messenger came to him from his Lord and said to him: This contains a basis for whoever says for the legitimacy of the two rak'ahs before ihram. And in any case, the matter is broad in this, if Allah wills. And even if the hadith is not explicit, it contains a basis for whoever says that, so it should not be said that it is an innovation.
The presenter: Okay! Is it permissible to call them the two rak'ahs of ihram?
The Shaykh: The scholars call them the two rak'ahs of ihram. And if he performs wudu and prays two rak'ahs, they are called the two rak'ahs of wudu. Meaning, it is recommended for whoever performs wudu to pray two rak'ahs. So if he performs wudu and acts upon the recommended practice by praying two rak'ahs, and enters ihram after them, he has combined the two recommended practices. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
