He came from Riyadh and did not enter the state of ihram except from Jeddah in order to buy a car first! What is the ruling?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We traveled from Riyadh to Jeddah to buy a car, and we said while we were in Riyadh that once we finished buying the car, we would perform 'Umrah. So we entered the state of ihram from Jeddah after finishing the purchase of the car. Is what we did valid?

The Shaykh:
The 'Umrah is valid, but you have an obligation.

The questioner:
Because it is obligatory that you enter the state of ihram from the miqat. As long as you intended to perform 'Umrah from Riyadh, you had to enter the state of ihram from the miqat. You go to Jeddah, and you are in the state of ihram, and you do not violate any of its prohibitions. You go in the state of ihram.

The Shaykh:
In the state of ihram, you buy the car and stay there, then you perform the 'Umrah. It is not permissible for you to delay entering the state of ihram when you intend to perform 'Umrah. So you are between two options: either you enter the state of ihram from the miqat and you are between two options: either you intend to go to Makkah and perform the 'Umrah, then you go out to Jeddah; or you go to Jeddah and buy the car while in the state of ihram, then you go down to Makkah to perform the 'Umrah. Yes.
