Summary
Pronouncing the intention of ihram during a Hajj or Umrah course is permissible as a form of learning and practical training. If the words are uttered only for study and not to enter ihram in earnest, the person is not bound by the prohibitions of ihram. The ruling rests on the legal maxim that matters are judged by intention, and on a national Hajj conference resolution stating that course participants are not considered to have intended Hajj or Umrah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, jika diniatkan hanya untuk pembelajaran dan bukan untuk berihram sebenar, maka tidak berlaku larangan-larangan ihram bagi orang yang melafazkan niat tersebut.
