The ruling on the Muhrim remaining in his Ihram for a long period of time

Question :

I went to perform 'Umrah during Ramadhan and I had my mother with me. I assumed Ihram above Abyar 'Ali by airplane and we landed in Jeddah. Then we stayed in Jeddah and when we broke our fast, we went that evening to Makkah to offer the 'Umrah and we did not remove our Ihram until we completed it. Is there any sin on us for staying some time in Jeddah while we were in Ihram? Please benefit us with an answer. May Allâh reward you with good.

Answer:

If the reality is what the questioner has mentioned, there is no sin on you or your mother for staying in Jeddah while you were in Ihram. This is because it is not obligatory upon the Muhrim to continue travel on his way until he performs 'Umrah. Rather, he may rest on the way and stay where he wishes from the places due to a need that calls for that while he is in his Ihram. May Allâh give everyone success.
