The difference between the intention for 'Umrah and the intention for ihram.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I intended to perform 'Umrah from my house, and after I entered the state of ihram and prayed two rak'ahs, I passed the miqat.

Answer:
Answer: There is a difference between intending 'Umrah and intending ihram. If a person comes from the far east, intending Hajj or intending 'Umrah, that is a general intention. However, ihram is the intention to enter into the ritual. So, if he intends to enter into the ritual and avoid the prohibitions of ihram, he has entered the state of ihram. As for merely coming to perform 'Umrah from whatever direction he came, he has not entered the state of ihram until now, until he intends to enter into the ritual, to begin the ritual, and to avoid the prohibitions.
