He assumed Ihram from Jeddah while arriving from Al-Madinah

Question :

The questioner says: "Verily, I am a student in Al- Madinah and I wanted to perform 'Umrah, but I could not find a car directly to Makkah. So, I went to Jeddah first and assumed Ihram in Jeddah. So, what is due upon me? Is it correct for me to assume Ihram from Jeddah?"

Answer:

If the situation is as you have mentioned, in that you intended to perform 'Umrah while you were in Al- Madinah and you went to Jeddah and assumed Ihram from there, then you have erred by passing the Miqat of the people of Al-Madinah without Ihram. You must seek forgiveness from Allâh and do not do like that again. You can make up for the deficiency of your Thram by your passing the Miqat without Ihram by slaughtering a sheep that is suitable for sacrificing. This can be done at anytime in Makkah Al-Mukarramah and the meat is distributed among the poor people of the Haram (sacred precincts of the city). You should not eat any of that meat. And success comes from Allâh. May Allâh send blessings and peace upon Muhammad, his family and his Companions.
