Q: I came from
Egypt
to
Makkah
for work.
When I left Egypt, I did not intend
to perform `Umrah or to enter the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah).
After I had stayed for seven days in
Makkah,
I entered the state of Ihram from Masjid
Al-Tan`im
and performed `Umrah. However, a person told me that I have to enter
Makkah
in the state of Ihram. To which extent is this correct? What should I do?
A:
If the case is as mentioned, entering the state of Ihram from
Al-Tan`im is valid.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
