Q 2:
What should a person heading from
Al-Madinah to
Jeddah by airplane do, on intending to offer `Umrah? Should they wear the clothes of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) from
Al-Madinah airport then intend to offer `Umrah upon embarking? What should they do? Please clarify the answer for me.
A: If you want to travel by plane from
Al-Madinah to
Makkah to perform `Umrah, it is permissible for you to wash, perform the Wudu' (ablution) of Salah, and wear (Part No. 11; Page No. 152) the clothes of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah), and after the plane takes off from the airport, you should start pronouncing Talbiyah (devotional expressions chanted at certain times during Hajj and `Umrah) for `Umrah, and this is to be done before passing by the Miqat (sites for entering the ritual state for Hajj and `Umrah) of the people of
Al-Madinah which is
Abar `Aly (The wells of `Aly) .May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
