What is the ruling on one who goes to Jeddah for work, then enters the state of ihram from there and performs 'Umrah?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: I went to Jeddah for work, then I desired to perform 'Umrah, so I entered the state of ihram from Jeddah and performed 'Umrah. Is that permissible or not?

Answer:
If you intend 'Umrah from Jeddah, you enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. You enter the state of ihram from the place from which you intend 'Umrah, unless you are in Makkah and intend 'Umrah in Makkah; in that case, you must go out to al-Hal and enter the state of ihram from al-Hal, such as at al-Tan'im, al-Ja'ranah, 'Arafah, or other places in al-Hal. One does not enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from within the sacred precinct, but rather from al-Hal. Yes.
