Ruling on wearing Ihram on transit at Jeddah while travelling to another countryا

We intend to perform Umrah, but first we have to go to Turkey and we will perform Umrah on our return. The question is that when we are going to Turkey, our flight has a 9-hour stay at Jeddah airport, and then we will go to Turkey from there. We will perform Umrah on our return, when we return to Jeddah from Turkey. So will it be necessary to wear Ihram when we stop in Jeddah on our way to Turkey or not? Will we have to wear Ihram on our way as well?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

If the questioner intends to go to Turkey first, then it is not necessary for him to put on Ihram while passing through the Miqat. However, upon returning from Turkey, when leaving for Umrah, it is necessary for him to put on Ihram before passing through the Miqat.

کما فی الدرالمختار: (وحرم تأخير الإحرام عنها) كلها (لمن) أي لآفاقي (قصد دخول مكة) يعني الحرم (ولو لحاجة) غير الحج أما لو قصد موضعا من الحل كخليص وجدة حل له مجاوزته بلا إحرام فإذا حل به التحق بأهله فله دخول مكة بلا إحرام وهو الحيلة الخ(ج2،ص476،ط:سعید)۔
وفی ردالمحتار تحت: (قوله وحرم إلخ) فعليه العود إلى ميقات منها وإن لم يكن ميقاته ليحرم منه، وإلا فعليه دم الخ(ج2،ص477،ط:سعید)۔
