What is the miqat for a person from Egypt who wants to perform Hajj or 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I came from Egypt to visit my husband via Jeddah, and I had the intention to perform 'Umrah, but I did not enter the state of ihram on the ship. My husband arrived and took us to Makkah. From where should I enter the state of ihram? Is it permissible to enter the state of ihram from the miqat of Makkah?

Answer:
No, it is obligatory for one who passes the miqat while intending to perform 'Umrah to return to the miqat he passed and enter the state of ihram from there. If he enters the state of ihram from a point before it, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment).
