Going from Taif to Musjid ul Haraam without performing umrah

· 18 Rajab 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am living in Taif for work purposes. I frequently go for Umrah from Taif, however sometimes I go to Musjid ul Haraam to perform salaah such as the Jumuah salaah.

I have recently been told that it is not permissible to go to Musjid ul Haraam just to perform salaah as respect of the Haram demands that we wear ihraam and perform Umrah before entering to perform salaah. Can you please clarify if it is permissible for me to go to Musjid ul Haraam just to perform salaah without performing Umrah?

Answer

If you are living out of the miqaat, then when coming to Makkah Mukarramah, you should put on the ihraam for umrah. If you do not put on the ihraam, damm will be compulsory upon you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

(قال) ومن دخل مكة بغير إحرام فخاف الفوت إن رجع إلى الميقات فأحرم، ووقف أجزأه، وعليه دم لترك الوقت هكذا نقل عن عبد الله بن مسعود، وغيره من الصحابة - رضي الله تعالى عنهم - أنهم قالوا إذا جاوز الميقات فعليه دم لترك الوقت وكان المعنى فيه أن الشرع عين الميقات للإحرام فبتأخيره الإحرام عن الميقات يتمكن فيه النقصان، ونقائص الحج تجبر بالدم (المبسوط للسرخسي 4/59)

فإن الحاج إذا جاوز الميقات بغير إحرام ثم أحرم وجب عليه الدم (العناية 3/62)
