From where does one enter the state of ihram if he is in Makkah, intends to visit al-Masjid al-Nabawi, then changes his mind and wants to perform 'Umrah first?

Question:
I am a man from the south who came to Makkah to visit some relatives six days ago. I intended to visit al-Madinah al-Munawwarah and spend some days there, and upon returning, I would enter the state of ihram and perform 'Umrah. However, my intention changed, and I gave up on the visit. I now want to perform 'Umrah. Should I enter the state of ihram from al-Hill or not?

Answer:
Yes, you should go out to al-Hill, to Tan'im or elsewhere, and enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah, because you changed your mind about going to al-Madinah. You enter the state of ihram from al-Hill and perform 'Umrah. Yes, unless you came from your country intending to perform 'Umrah, entered Makkah without entering the state of ihram, even though you intended to perform 'Umrah. In that case, you made a mistake. It is obligatory that you had entered the state of ihram from the miqat you passed when you came from your country and performed the 'Umrah. But if you came from your country without intending to perform 'Umrah, but intending to go to al-Madinah and return to perform 'Umrah, and then you changed that intention, you initiate the 'Umrah from Makkah: you go out to al-Hill and enter the state of ihram. Yes.
