travel from Riyadhto Jeddah by air. When exactly should I enter
ihraam?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Your meeqaat in this case is Qarn al-Manaazil, which nowadays is
called al-Sayl al-Kabeer.
The one who passes by themeeqaat has to enter ihraam from that point.
If he does not pass it then hehas to enter ihraam when he comes in
line with it on land, on the sea or in the air. So you have to enter
ihraam when the plane comes in line with it. As the plane will pass
the meeqaat quickly, there is nothing wrong with entering ihraam a
little before that, in order to be on the safe side.
Shaykh Ibn Jibreen said:
If there is no meeqaat on aperson's route, he should enter ihraam when
he comes in line with the nearest place to it, whether he is coming by
land, by sea or by air. Airplane passengers should enter ihraam when
they come in line with the meeqaat or, to be on the safe side, before
they reach it, so that they will not pass it before entering ihraam.
Whoever enters ihraam after passing the meeqaat has to offer a
sacrifice. and Allaah knowsbest.
Fataawa Islamiyyah, 2/198
From Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah:
Jeddah is not a meeqaat for Hajj or 'Umrah, except for its citizens
and residents, and for those who come to it for a reason other than
Hajj or 'Umrah, then decide to go for Hajj or 'Umrah. But those who
have a meeqaat before Jeddah, such as Dhu'l-Hulayfah for the people of
Madeenah and places beyond, or whocome in line with it on land or in
the air, or al-Jahfah for those who live there, or who come in line
with it on land, on the sea or in the air, or such as Yalamlam as
well, have to enter ihraam from their own meeqaat or when they come in
line with it inthe air or on the sea or on land.
Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah. 11/130
The evidence for entering ihraam from a point that isin line with the
meeqaat isthe report narrated by al-Bukhaari (1458) from Ibn 'Umar
(may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: When these two cities –
meaning Kufa and Basrah – were conquered, they came to 'Umar and said,
"O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, the Messenger of Allaah (peaceand blessings of
Allaah be upon him) defined the meeqaat for the people of Najd as
being Qarn, but it is out of our way, and if we want to go to Qarn it
istoo difficult for us." He said, "Look for a place on your route that
is in line with it," and he defined Dhaat 'Irq for them (as their
meeqaat).
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Baari (3/389):
"Look for a place that is in line with it" means find a place that is
parallel with the meeqaat and make that your meeqaat.
It should be noted that it is not Sunnah to enter ihraam before
reaching the meeqaat, because this is not what the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) did, and the best of guidance isthe
guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). But
if a person is in a plane and cannot stop at the place that is in line
with the meeqaat, then he may do what he thinks is more on the safe
side so that he will not pass the meeqaat without being in ihraam.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him)said:
It was not narrated from any of those who performed Hajj with the
Messenger of Allaah (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) that
they entered ihraam before Dhu'l-Hulayfah. If there was no meeqaat
they thenthey would enter ihraam before it, so this would be more
difficult and would bring a greater reward.
Fath al-Baari, 3/387.
And Allaah knows best.
