Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sa'd from Bisha is with us on the line, please go ahead, my brother Sa'd. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And peace. Shaykh, I have a patient and his companion with him in Makkah at the Makkah Hospital, and they want to enter the state of ihram from Makkah, but they are from outside Makkah. Do they enter ihram from Makkah, or do they enter ihram from Makkah from the direction of Ta'if?

Answer:
They enter ihram from the miqat they pass by, and they do not pass it without entering ihram if they intend to perform 'Umrah. They enter ihram from the miqat they pass by on their way. If they are before the miqat and outside the Haram, before the miqat and outside the Haram, then they enter ihram from the place from which they intended to perform 'Umrah, or from their home if it is before the miqat. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
and whoever is living within these boundariesومن كان دون ذلك
Sahih al-Bukhari 1524
means that if one is before the miqats, his place of entry is from his home. Yes. And in the hadith
From where he initiatedمن حيث أنشأ
means from where he intended. As for if they are inside Makkah and they want to perform 'Umrah, they go to outside the Haram, to al-Tan'im, to al-Ja'ranah, to the boundaries of the Haram, and they enter ihram from outside it. Yes.
