Question

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 Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu 'alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

If you are arriving from the Eastern Province then you will have to don the ahram from Qarn e Manazil (Taif). Therefore, you cannot proceed directly to Makkah Mukarramah without donning an ahram From Taif.
