    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1729/1729/M=1434) It is not lawful for you to enter in Makkah without wearing ihram whether you intend to perform Hajj and Umrah or not. ولا يجوز للآفاقي أن يدخل مكة بغير إحرام نوى النسك أو لا، ولو دخلها فعليه حجة أو عمرة’ كذا في محيط السرخسي في باب دخول مكتة بغير أحرام. (الهندية 1/245’ كتاب المناسك، الباب الثانى في المواقيت).
