Ruling on one who intends to perform 'Umrah and passes the miqat without entering the state of ihram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Our sister from Riyadh, the questioner Umm Muhammad, sent a message saying: We are residents of the city of Riyadh, and we have been accustomed every year to go for 'Umrah in Ramadan. It happened that for three years, when we went for 'Umrah to Makkah, we would arrive in Jeddah and not go directly to Makkah, but rather sleep in Jeddah, and on the second day we would go to Makkah, meaning: we would perform 'Umrah from Jeddah. What is the ruling on our 'Umrah in those three years, since we did not go to Makkah but stayed in Jeddah and performed 'Umrah from there? And the second question: If there is something upon us, please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: If your ihram for 'Umrah was from Jeddah, and you came from Riyadh for 'Umrah, then a sacrificial animal is due from you. Each of you owes a sacrificial animal for all three 'Umrahs, to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor and the needy. This is because it is obligatory for you to enter the state of ihram from the miqat, which is the miqat of al-Ta'if, Wadi al-Qarn, and it is not permissible for you to pass that point to Jeddah without entering the state of ihram. Rather, it is obligatory to enter the state of ihram from the miqat.
And if you intended Jeddah and stayed overnight there, there is no harm, provided you are in the state of ihram. If you stay in Jeddah and then go to Makkah, there is no harm. However, passing the miqat and entering the state of ihram from Jeddah is not permissible. The one who did that owes an expiation, which is a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor to make up for the 'Umrah. This is because his 'Umrah became deficient due to his entering the state of ihram from Jeddah; it became deficient.
But if he returned to the miqat and entered the state of ihram from the miqat, and did not enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, that suffices for him. When he realized and remembered, he returned before entering the state of ihram to the miqat and entered the state of ihram from there, and there is no harm. However, the first obligation upon him, when he passes the miqat, is to enter the state of ihram from the miqat. This is because he came for 'Umrah, so he has no right to pass it except by entering the state of ihram. This is what is obligatory. And if he stays in Jeddah, or stays overnight there while in the state of ihram, that does not harm him.
As for passing the miqat without entering the state of ihram and then entering the state of ihram from Jeddah, this is what is not permissible. But the one who did that owes an expiation, which is a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor to make up for the 'Umrah.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Is it possible, Your Eminence, to ask about those for whom it is permissible to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, so that it is known who is opposite to them?
The Shaykh: It is permissible for its residents to enter the state of ihram from it, those who live there and those who reside there for work. If they intend to perform 'Umrah, they enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, and there is no harm. Just as the one in Bahrah enters the state of ihram from Bahrah, and the one in Umm al-Salam enters the state of ihram from Umm al-Salam, and the one in ... from ...; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he designated the miqats, he said: And in the other wording: Meaning: from where he initiated the ihram. So these people who are in Jeddah, whether they are settled there or are there but not settled, rather residing for work, if they intend Hajj or 'Umrah, they enter the state of ihram from their location.
And likewise, if a person came from Riyadh, or from Jeddah, or from elsewhere from ... from al-Madinah or from elsewhere to Jeddah, not for the purpose of 'Umrah or for the purpose of Hajj, but rather he came from Riyadh, or from al-Madinah, or from al-Sham, or from Egypt, or elsewhere to Jeddah for a specific need, for work, or to visit a relative, or for a commercial transaction, or something similar, and then it occurred to him to enter the state of ihram, it occurred to him to perform Hajj, it occurred to him to perform 'Umrah when he arrived in Jeddah, then this person enters the state of ihram from Jeddah like the resident there. This is because when he passed the miqats, he did not intend 'Umrah or Hajj, but rather he initiated that from Jeddah itself. So this is the one who initiated Hajj or 'Umrah from Jeddah; he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah like the residents there. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So in this case, Jeddah is not a miqat, Your Eminence?
The Shaykh: ...It is not a miqat for people, but it is a miqat for its residents and those residing in it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.

They are for themselves and for whoever comes to them from among those who are not their people, from among those who intend Hajj and 'Umrah. And whoever is beyond that, his miqat is from his home - until he said -: even the people of Makkah from Makkah
هن لهن ولمن أتى عليهن من غير أهلهن ممن أراد الحج والعمرة، ومن كان دون ذلك فمهله من أهله -حتى قال-: حتى أهل مكة من مكةAnd whoever is beyond that, his miqat is from where he initiated
ومن كان دون ذلك فمهله من حيث أنشأAnd likewise, if a person came from Riyadh, or from Jeddah, or from elsewhere from ... from al-Madinah or from elsewhere to Jeddah, not for the purpose of 'Umrah or for the purpose of Hajj, but rather he came from Riyadh, or from al-Madinah, or from al-Sham, or from Egypt, or elsewhere to Jeddah for a specific need, for work, or to visit a relative, or for a commercial transaction, or something similar, and then it occurred to him to enter the state of ihram, it occurred to him to perform Hajj, it occurred to him to perform 'Umrah when he arrived in Jeddah, then this person enters the state of ihram from Jeddah like the resident there.
