Passing the Miqat while intending to perform Hajj without entering Ihram

Q 3: A man who intended to perform Hajj passed the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) in the evening of the 7th of Dhul-Hijjah and joined us at our group camp in the morning of the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah, the Day of Tarwiyah, having neither entered nor intended Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah). On the Day of Tarwiyah after sunset, he went to Al-Sayl Valley, the Miqat designated for the people of Al-Ta'if, which is his Miqat, entered Ihram and took off his Makhit (clothes sewn to fit body limbs). Afterward, he came to Mina while in the state of Ihram and attended Fajr (Dawn) Prayer with us. What is the ruling on this? Please give us a Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar). May Allah reward you.

A: Anyone who passes the Miqat while intending to perform Hajj without entering Ihram has committed a mistake.Yet, nothing is required from the pilgrim in question for having gone back there and entered Ihram, as he did not have the intention to begin the ritual when he passed the Miqat and later he corrected his mistake.
