The ruling on entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah from Jeddah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers says: I go to Jeddah to carry out some business, and when I am finished with my business, is it permissible for me to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah and then perform 'Umrah?

Answer:
If you intended, or are intending, to perform 'Umrah when you pass the miqat, it is obligatory for you to enter the state of ihram from the miqat. Do not pass the miqat while intending 'Umrah or Hajj unless you are in the state of ihram.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the miqats:
They are for them, and for whoever comes to them from among those who are not of their household, from among those who intend Hajjهن لهن ولمن أتى عليهن من غير أهلهن ممن يريد الحج
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 4:296
or 'Umrah. If you pass the miqat and do not enter the state of ihram, then you must return to it and enter the state of ihram from there. If you enter the state of ihram after passing it, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you because you neglected an obligatory part of the rites of the pilgrimage.
As for if you fall ill at the miqat while not intending 'Umrah or Hajj, but after passing it or entering Makkah you intend to perform 'Umrah or Hajj, then you enter the state of ihram from the place where you intended, from the place where you intended. However, if you intend to perform 'Umrah while you are in Makkah, you do not enter the state of ihram from Makkah; rather, you go out to the halal area and enter the state of ihram from the halal area outside the miles. As for Hajj, you enter the state of ihram for it from Makkah if you intend it while you are in Makkah; there is no harm in that. Yes.
