Q: Alhamdulillah a few years back Allah had afforded me with the opportunity to perform umrah. We flew from Jhb to Madina, and from Madina then took a taxi to the miqaat to tie ihraam and proceed to perform umrah. However while flying we flew over the miqaat, and I was wondering, were we supposed to tie ihraam on the plane before landing in Madina.If yes, then should dumm be paid?

A: Since you intended to go to Madina Munawarah first, you did not need to tie the ihraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
