Entering the state of ihram for Hajj from Makkah for one who passed the miqat early

The questioner:
This is, may Allah preserve you, Your Excellency the Shaykh Salih. He says that he went for Hajj last year; he was sent by his employer. He says he went on the first of Dhul-Hijjah. He says that when the eighth day came, he entered the state of ihram and began the rites, but he had not entered the state of ihram at that time when he arrived in Makkah on the first of Dhul-Hijjah. He asks: Is there anything required of me?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it was obligatory for him to go out to the miqat that he had passed on his way, as he intended Hajj and 'Umrah, but at their proper times, intending them at their proper times. He had passed the miqat early, so he should go to the miqat that he passed and enter the state of ihram from there for Hajj. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Abu Muhammad al-Gharib.

The Shaykh:
If he entered the state of ihram from Makkah and did not return to the miqat, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). Yes.

The presenter:
