Question:
He says: I came from outside the Kingdom and I work in Makkah. When entering the Kingdom, I intended to perform 'Umrah, but the driver changed the direction of the trip to Jeddah. I changed my mind before the miqat and said I would visit a friend in Jeddah, and then I would enter the state of ihram from one of the stations. I would enter the state of ihram from one of the stations. Do I owe anything?

Answer:
Yes. If you passed the miqat intending to perform 'Umrah and did not enter the state of ihram, and went to Jeddah to visit your relatives as you mentioned, then if you want to perform 'Umrah, you must go out to the miqat that you passed earlier and enter the state of ihram from there. You must go out to the miqat that you passed earlier, because when you passed it, you intended to perform 'Umrah, but you delayed entering the state of ihram, and this is not permissible for you. However, if you return and enter the state of ihram from there, you have made up for the mistake. Yes.
