The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
Where must one dorn the Ihram when going for Hajj or Umrah from South Africa. On the plane when the Meeqat announcment is made or can one dorn the Ehram at Jeddah.
Answer
It is permissible to don the Ihraam at Jeddah. However, according to some Ulama, Jeddah is in the Meeqaat and the Ihraam should be donned before that.
Therefore, it is advisable to exercise precaution and don the Ihraam before Jeddah.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
