Question:
Assalamualaikum warahmatu Allah wa barakatu hu.
I’m planning a trip to Saudi Arabia via Turkiye. I plan to land at Jeddah airport and then go to Medina after staying in Jeddah for one day. Insha’Allah after visiting Masjid Nabwi on the way back I’ll go Dhul Hulayfah and get in Ihram and intend for Umrah. It is lawful to do so?
Also after Umrah, I will be staying for 5 days in Jeddah with my relative (who is a resident of Jeddah) and have intentions to perform more Umrah. I understand that Miqat for Jeddah residents are their home/place. However, I want to confirm what the traveller’s Miqat will be while staying in Jeddah. While travelling to Masjid Aisha from Jeddah I will have to enter Haram Boundary and then go to Masjid Aisha. The only other way to avoid entering Haram Boundary without Ihram is from Jeddah to go to Al Jumum,Al Jumum is a governorate in Makkah Province, in western Saudi Arabia and then Masjid Aisha.
Or my understanding is wrong, I as a traveller living in Jeddah for 5 days my Miqat is also Masjid Aisha, even if I pass through haram while travelling to Masjid Aisah from Jeddah via Makkah/Haram. I will have to make intend and wear Ihram at Masjid Aisha, Please advise on this matter.
JazakamAllah khair.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
One who intends to enter Makkah must wear the Ihram before crossing the Miqat [1]. Although Jeddah is within the Miqat, Masjid An-Nabawi is outside the Miqat. Thus, since you are not intending to travel to Makkah prior to visiting Madinah, you are not required to wear Ihram until you have reached Madinah [2], after which you may then enter into Ihram at or prior to reaching Dhul Hulayfah [3].
Once you have performed Umrah and removed your Ihram, you may travel wherever you wish within the Miqat without Ihram [4]. Should you then intend to perform Umrah at any point, then you may enter Ihram from any point between the Miqat and the Haram [5]. For those within Makkah, Masjid A’isha is the closest place to enter into Ihram [6], but for those outside of the Haram there is no requirement to wear Ihram at Masjid A’isha. They may enter Ihram from wherever they are within the Hil.
It will therefore be permissible to stay in Jeddah and visit Masjid An-Nabawi without Ihram, wear Ihram for Umrah at Dhul Hulayfah, perform Umrah, travel back to Jeddah, and then put on Ihram at your residence in Jeddah or at any other point outside of the Haram whenever you intend to perform another Umrah, without having to travel to Masjid A’isha.
However, be aware that should you exit the Miqat at any point during your stay and then return knowing you intend to perform another Umrah before you next depart, you will once again be required to enter Ihram prior to crossing the Miqat.
Only Allah ﷻ knows best.
