Not
knowing exactly when to enter state of ihraam whilst in an
airplane
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: A man wanted to perform the Hajj or
'Umrah and put on the ihraam
clothing on the airplane. Then he did not know the place of
the meeqat, so should he delay entering the state of ihraam
once he reaches Jeddah or not?
Response:
If he intended the Hajj or 'Umrah (whilst arriving) by air,
then he should take a bath in his home and wear the izaar
and ridaa (ihraam
clothing), if he wishes. So if there is only a little time
before approaching the meeqat, he should enter the state of
ihraam
according to what he intends, whether the Hajj or the 'Umrah,
so there is no difficulty in this. And if he does not know
about the meeqat, then he should ask the pilot of the airplane,
one of the hostesses or one of the passengers whom he trusts
and who has some experience in this.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
