From where does one enter the state of ihram if he intends to perform Hajj but first travels from al-Madinah to the south of the Kingdom?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A resident of al-Madinah al-Munawwarah intends to perform Hajj this year, but he will take his mother to his brothers in the south of the Kingdom, and he will enter the state of ihram on the first of Dhul-Hijjah. Does he have to return to al-Madinah, or is it permissible for him to enter the state of ihram from Yalamlam?

Answer:
If he returns to Makkah intending to perform Hajj, he enters the state of ihram from the first miqat (boundary) he passes. He enters the state of ihram from the first miqat he passes; this is what is obligatory for him. If he wishes, he enters the state of ihram for Hajj and remains in that state, or if he wishes, he enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah. When he arrives in Makkah, he performs the 'Umrah and exits the state of ihram, then enters the state of ihram for Hajj. This makes him a person performing tamattu' (combining 'Umrah and Hajj with a break between them), and this is better. Yes.
