Entering the state of ihram from the miqat one passes by

Question:
The questioner asks: Is it obligatory for a man to enter the state of ihram from the miqat he passes by, or is he allowed to enter ihram from another miqat, especially if there is a dire necessity such as work or something similar?

Answer:
It is obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram from the miqat he passes by, and entering ihram from another miqat does not suffice for him.
Rather, he must enter ihram from the miqat he passed by, and he must not delay entering ihram while intending to perform Hajj or 'Umrah. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or 'Umrah. Therefore, it is obligatory for the one who intends Hajj or 'Umrah to enter ihram from the miqat he passes by on his way. He must not leave off entering ihram and say, "I will enter ihram from another miqat." This does not suffice; that is, it is not permissible for him. It is not permissible for him. And if he does so, a fidyah (ransom payment) becomes due upon him. Yes.
