jeddah

Q: If I am on safar for Umrah and the intention is to go to Makkah first but I decide to spend one night in Jeddah. When will I have to wear my Ihraam, on the plane or after spending the night in Jeddah?

Q: I came to Jeddah for some work. I have two lady friends from Saudi Arabia and they are ready to come with me for umrah. Can I perform umrah without a mahram?

Q: I am leaving for umrah but will be spending a night and day in Jeddah. I have been told that my brother and I can wear our ihraam in Jeddah before we leave for Makkah the next day. Please clarify if this is true.

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?
