Q 3: I
live in
Al-Khubar
and I want to perform `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage), with Allah's Leave. Where should I enter into the state of Ihram (ceremonial state for Hajj or `Umrah)
and put on Ihram (clothing worn during the ceremonial state for Hajj and `Umrah)?
A:
Whoever intends to perform Hajj or `Umrah should enter into the state of Ihram at the specified respective Miqat (site for entering the ceremonial state for Hajj or `Umrah) through which he passes. As you will head to
Makkah from Al-Khubar, you should enter into the state of Ihram at the Miqat of
Al-Sayl if you pass through it or through a region parallel to it by land or by air. With regard to putting on the Ihram garment, (Part No. 10; Page No. 88) this should be done upon entering into the state of Ihram for Hajj or `Umrah or before it. It is the intention to perform Hajj or `Umrah or both of them that counts. Mere putting on the Ihram garment without declaring the intention is not considered a state of Ihram.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
