The Difference Between Ihram and Ihram from the Miqat

Question:
The questioner says: You mentioned, Shaykh, that one of the pillars of Hajj is ihram, and one of the obligations is ihram from the miqat. Can a person enter ihram from other than the miqat? And what is the difference between ihram and ihram from the miqat? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Ihram is the intention, the intention to enter into the rites. And from the miqat, this is the place; one enters ihram from this place. If he passes it and enters ihram after passing it, his ihram is valid, but he owes a sacrificial animal, because he left an obligation, which is to enter ihram from the miqat. As for his ihram, it is valid, and he owes a sacrificial animal to make up for the deficiency. Yes. So there is a difference between ihram from the miqat and ihram. Ihram is the intention to enter into the rites; this is necessary, and his Hajj is not established except by it. As for ihram from the place, this is obligatory. Yes.
