Passing the meeqat without entering into ihraam
Q: I am from Pakistan and I am here to perform umrah. My first 3 umrahs are done successfully but when I was coming from Madina after living 10 days on the meeqat. I didn’t wear ihram because I make my mind that I will perform umrah after one day. After one day I will go to Ayesha Mosque and wear ihram from that place. Do I have to give dam since I didn’t wear ihram from the madinah meeqat?
Reciting the talbiyah after passing the meeqaat
Q: I performed umrah a couple of days ago. I was travelling from Madina to Makkah and I was sure ( i had نیت in my heart) about umrah. At Dhul-Hulaifah I put on two sheets (dress of ehraam) and offered two rakat nafil but I forget to say TALBIYA.
I departed for Makkah after performing nawafil of ehraam and after 5-10 minutes travelling I remembered about talbiya and I said the talbiya and niyat by tongue then and there. Is my umrah correct or do I have to pay any penalty/sadaqah?
