Miqaat

Making the intention for ihraam while in the plane

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2018-10-03 07:14

Q: I live in Mumbai (India) and I am planning to perform Umrah. I will be taking a flight from Mumbai to Jeddah and continue onwards from Jeddah to Makkah via bus/car. I know that I need to be in the state of ihram while passing the Miqaat. I will wear Ihram at Mumbai airport so that all I have to do while passing the Miqaat (in the air) is make the Niyah.

My query is that I do not know when should I make the Niyah so that I am sure I have not missed the Miqaat boundary. I will be travelling in a flight which will not be notifying me when I pass over the Miqaat area. What is the way that I should follow? Should I make Niyah from Mumbai (India) airport OR should I make Niyaah 1 hour before reaching Jeddah? There can be a chance that I do not pass over any specific Miqaat point (rather pass through between 2 Miqaat points), what do I do in that case? ?

Woman in haidh passing the meeqaat without ihraam

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2017-08-16 07:36

Q: I always knew a person cant pass meeqat unless in Ihram even if a woman is in haidh. Now someone said, a woman in haidh can pass the meeqat, then when she is clean she has to bath, go to Masjid Aysha (for niyat and talbiya) then do Umrah and there is no dam. Also that a woman in haidh can not be in the state of Ihram, she should act like she is in Ihram but not in reality.

Wearing Ihraam in Jeddah

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2016-12-25 08:13

Q: "I would like to check the permissibility of wearing Ihraam in Jeddah. We'll be traveling first to Dubai then to Jeddah. We'll be staying in Jeddah at a hotel for one day and night. The reason for stopping in Jeddah is to take rest for my grandmother as she is elderly. I just want to check the permissibility of going into Ihram in Jeddah the next day before leaving for makkah, or should it be done before crossing miqat?" Could mufti please provide me with sources as there is much debate and conflicting information about this. According to what I've checked jamiatul ulema gauteng and jamiatul ulema kzn have ruled that it is not permissible. What would be the basis of ruling otherwise?
