Perform umra while visiting jeddah.

Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Dear,

Brother burhan

Assalamualaikum I have one question please answer me

 

1) If some one intended to go Jeddah for 5 to 6 days to stay with his relatives and in between if he planned to do umra and come back again to Jeddah, Is it Acceptable?

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Perform umra while visiting jeddah

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

If one pre-planned to take the opportunity to perform the Umrah while visiting one’s relatives in Jeddah, then one should adorn the intention of ‘ehram’ at the appointed place of ‘Meeqat’ before entering Jeddah; or alternatively travel to the nearest ‘Meeqat’ (which in this case would be Taif) and adorn the ‘ehram’ for Umrah from there.

 

But if one had no prior intention to perform the Umrah, but was merely visiting Jeddah and whilst in Jeddah makes an intention to perform the Umrah, then one may adorn the ‘ehram’ from where one happens to reside in Jeddah.

 

Any which way, there is absolutely no harm if one is visiting Jeddah for any reason and intends to take the opportunity to perform the Umrah pilgrimage during their visit and return back to Jeddah if they so wish.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
