Traveling by plane to perform `Umrah and saying Talbiyah without entering the state of Ihram

Q 3: Is it permissible for a person travelling by plane to perform `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) to say Talbiyah (devotional expressions chanted at certain times during Hajj and `Umrah) of `Umrah without entering the state of Ihram (ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah)? This is because he wants to fulfill some tasks in Jeddah and then enter the state of Ihram from there before going to perform `Umrah. If this is not permissible, what should he do?

A: It is impermissible for those who travel with the intention of performing Hajj or `Umrah to pass the Miqat (site for entering the ritual state for Hajj or `Umrah) without entering the state of Ihram according to their intention and taking off their Makhit (clothes sewn to fit body limbs). In addition, they should avoid the prohibited acts during Ihram.Accordingly, your mentioned act is impermissible because it contradicts the Shari`ah (Islamic law) ruling. However, it is permissible to go to Jeddah without entering the state of Ihram to fulfill your need and then return to the Miqat to enter the state of Ihram for Hajj or `Umrah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
