Passing the Miqat without entering Ihram and Staying in Jeddah

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man passed the Miqat and did not enter Ihram when he arrived in Jeddah. Some of the mosque imams issued a fatwa that he should stay in Jeddah and then enter Ihram from there, on the grounds that after three days he would be considered a resident. Is this fatwa correct?

Answer:
His job is that he is a mosque imam. What is his job? He does not issue fatwas. It is not permissible for anyone to issue a fatwa without knowledge. Not every mosque imam issues fatwas. Only the people of knowledge issue fatwas. This statement is not correct. The one who comes from the regions and passes the Miqat wanting to perform 'Umrah must enter Ihram from the Miqat. If he passes it, he must return to it and enter Ihram from there. If he enters Ihram from a place beyond it, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). Because he left an obligatory act. Yes.
