What is the ruling on one who passes the miqat without entering the state of ihram?

Question : A woman asks: I came from my city with the intention of performing 'Umrah, but I did not enter the state of ihram at the miqat, and I entered Makkah to visit my daughter. Is it permissible to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah?

Answer : Yes, first, may Allah bless you, I will give you an important rule whose origin is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He commanded everyone who passes by the miqat boundaries while intending to perform Hajj or 'Umrah to enter the state of ihram from the miqat they pass by. He said when he designated the miqat boundaries: "They are for them and for whoever comes to them from outside their area." Based on this, we say to this woman: if you were determined to perform 'Umrah when you passed the miqat, you must return to the miqat to enter ihram from it, as this is obligatory. However, if you were hesitant when you passed the miqat...
...between performing 'Umrah and not performing it, but when you arrived in Jeddah you made the decision, then entering ihram here is from Jeddah and there is no harm, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) , yes.
