What is required of someone who entered ihram and intended 'Umrah approximately ten kilometers before the miqat, and did not descend to pray at the miqat due to not knowing its location?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a pilgrim in the state of ihram passes a miqat ( নির্ধারিত স্থান যেখানে ইহরামের পোশাক পরিধান করতে হয়), his ihram is valid, and nothing is required of him. The salat al-ihram (prayer before ihram) is supererogatory and not a condition for ihram, and nothing is incumbent upon one who omits it. It is preferable to enter ihram from the miqat, and doing so before it is disliked.
