The ruling on one who passes the miqat while sleeping

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person travels to Makkah by plane, and he is sleeping when he passes the miqat, and he does not wake up until Jeddah, is he required to return to the miqat, or is it sufficient for him to put on the ihram clothes in Jeddah, because he intended to enter ihram before the miqat?

Answer:
He is required to return to the miqat. He enters ihram from there to make up for it. If he enters ihram from Jeddah, he owes a sacrificial animal; he owes a fidyah (ransom payment) because he left an obligatory duty, which is entering ihram from the miqat.
