Ruling on entering Makkah for a purpose other than 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man traveled from Riyadh to Jeddah to participate in the burial of one of his relatives. Upon his arrival, the family ordered that he be prayed over in the Haram and buried in Makkah, but this man did not enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. What is the ruling?
Answer:
If he did not intend to perform 'Umrah, there is no harm. Entering Makkah does not make 'Umrah or Hajj obligatory. If he did not intend 'Umrah or Hajj, he does not have to enter the state of ihram. Ihram is only for the one who comes to Makkah for Hajj or with the intention of 'Umrah.
As for if he comes to attend a funeral, or for trade, or to visit a relative, or something similar, he does not have to enter the state of ihram. However, if he enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah, it is better to do so from the miqat.
