i am living in al khobar , i want to perform umrah. my parents came from india to perform umrah too and at present they already performed one umrah and they want to perform another one, i am going directly to makkah to perform umrah with my parents.
actully some body told that i cant go to masjid ayesha directly to wear ihram becuase i am coming from al khobar (east).they
told me to wear ihram from taif and to go to masjid haram
my question is – IS IT PERMISSIBLE FOR ME TO GO TO MAKKAH DIRECTLY AND TAKE MY PARENTS
WITH ME TO MASJID AYESHA (MASJID THANEEM) TO WEAR IHRAM AND TO PERFORM UMRAH.
Answer:
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
If you are arriving from the Eastern Province then you will have to don the ahrām from Qarn e Manāzil (Tāif). Therefore, you cannot proceed directly to Makkah Mukarramah without donning an ahrām From Tāif.
