What is the ruling on one who comes from Riyadh, stays in Jeddah for a day, then enters the state of ihram from there for 'Umrah and goes to Makkah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I reside in Riyadh, and I intended to perform 'Umrah. However, I intended to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah because I wanted to stay there before coming to Makkah. In fact, I spent a day in Jeddah, entered the state of ihram from Jeddah, and came to Makkah. Is there anything required of me?

Answer:
You made a mistake in this. It is obligatory for you to enter the state of ihram from the miqat, which is the miqat you passed, not Jeddah. Jeddah is not a miqat except for its residents. Since you are from Riyadh, you should enter the state of ihram from al-Sail if you pass by it or align with it. So you made a mistake. Since you entered the state of ihram from Jeddah, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you. The 'Umrah is valid, but a fidyah is required of you because you left an obligatory duty, which is entering the state of ihram from the miqat. Yes.
