2. SITES FOR ENTERING IHRAM
SITES FOR ENTERING IHRAM
The sites for entering ihram for hajj or ‘umrah are as follows:
1. (people going to hajj from the Westby plane must enter ihram before boarding it, or during the flight before it passes the airspace that is even with the city of Rabigh, on the western coast of the Arabian Peninsula, this generally being announced on the plane);
2. Medina residents (N: or those travelling through Medina to Mecca) enter ihram at Dhul Hulayfa.
3. residents of the Syria-Palestine region, Egypt, and North Africa enter ihram at al-Juhfa;
4. residents of al-Tihama in Yemen enter ihram at Yalamlam;
5. residents of the Najd of Yemen and the Najd of the Hijaz enter ihram at Qarn;
6. and residents of Iraq and Khurasan enter ihram at Dhat ‘Irq, preferably at al-‘Aqiq.
Someone at Mecca, even if merely passing through, enters ihram for hajj in Mecca, and for ‘umrah must go (N: at least) to the nearest place outside of the Sacred Precinct (Haram), of which the best is al-Ji’rana, then aI-Tan’im, and then al- Hudaybiya.
Someone residing closer to Mecca than the ihram site is to Mecca should enter ihram (for hajj or ‘umrah) at his residence
When coming by a route lacking an ihram site, one enters ihram when even with (on the left or right) the ihram site that is nearest.
For someone residing farther from Mecca than the ihram site is, to enter ihram at the ihram site is superior (than for him to enter ihram at his own residence).
THE EXPIATION FOR NEGLECTING TO ENTER IHRAM AT THE PROPER SITE
Someone intending hajj, ‘umrah, or both, who passes the ihram site (intentionally, absentmindedly, or in ignorance of it) and enters ihram somewhere closer to Mecca, is obliged to slaughter, though if he returns to the proper site and enters ihram there before having performed a single rite, he is no longer obliged to slaughter.
