From where does one enter the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My wife and children were residing with me in the city of Jeddah, then they went to complete their education in Egypt, but they come back periodically to renew their visas. If they want to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, do they enter ihram from Jeddah, from my house, or do they enter ihram from the miqat?

Answer:
If they intend to perform Hajj or... or from Egypt or elsewhere, and they pass by the miqat while intending Hajj or 'Umrah, then they enter ihram from the miqat. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the miqats is:
They are for them, and for whoever comes to them from among those who are not of their people, who intends Hajjهن لهن، ولمن أتى عليهن من غير أهلهن ممن يريد الحج
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:296
or 'Umrah. However, if they come with the intention of renewing the visa, and do not intend Hajj or 'Umrah, and what makes them do so is after they have passed the miqat, then they enter ihram from the place where they intended it, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he specified the miqats, he said:
and whoever is living within these boundariesومن كان دون ذلك
Sahih al-Bukhari 1524
meaning, from the areas beyond the miqats that are closer to Makkah, so his limit is from his home or from where he initiated, meaning from where he intended. Yes.
