Entering the State of Ihram in Clothing

Question:
Is it permissible to enter the state of ihram while wearing my clothes and then take them off afterward, or is it necessary to intend to strip off these clothes when making the intention?

Answer:
Answer: There is no harm in preparing yourself and wearing the izar (waist cloth) and tying it with a belt over it, then leaving your shirt on. When you reach the miqat, you take off the shirt and put on the rida (shoulder cloth) in its place, and you recite the talbiyah for Hajj or 'Umrah. Wearing the clothes of ihram and removing the sewn garments is preparation for ihram, not the ihram itself. Ihram is the intention to enter the rites, and this happens when you arrive at the miqat. At the miqat, among the miqats designated by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for Najd is al-Qarn, for the people of Sham is al-Juhfah, for the people of Yemen is Yalamlam, for the people of Madinah is Dhul Hulayfah, and for the people of Iraq is Dhat 'Irq. These are the five miqats. If one passes by them on foot, by land, by air, or by sea, whether by land or sea, and intends to perform the rites of Hajj or 'Umrah, then he intends to enter the rites and recites the talbiyah.
