A question regarding 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable scholar. A questioner asks: If a person intends to go to Jeddah for a personal need, and then to Makkah to perform 'Umrah, is it permissible for him to stay in Jeddah for two days and then enter the state of ihram from there for 'Umrah?
Answer:
If he intends to perform 'Umrah from his home, he must enter the state of ihram from the miqat. He may go to Jeddah after entering ihram, traveling as he pleases while in the state of ihram. However, if he passes the miqat while intending to perform 'Umrah and says, "I will stay in Jeddah for two days," this is not permissible for him unless he intends to go and return to the miqat. If he goes to Jeddah and stays there for two days or more, and then wishes to enter the state of ihram, he must return to the miqat that he passed. There is no harm in that. Yes.
