What is the ruling on one who comes to Jeddah for work and then enters the state of ihram from there for 'Umrah?

Question : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who comes to Jeddah and has work, and after finishing his work he wants to perform 'Umrah? Does he have the right to perform 'Umrah from Jeddah?

Answer : Yes, if a person comes to Jeddah for work and after finishing his work he wants to perform 'Umrah, we tell him: enter the state of ihram from a place in Jeddah, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he specified the miqats: This is if the intention did not occur to him until after he finished his work. However, if he originally traveled for 'Umrah and to do this work in Jeddah, he must first enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah from its miqat, then perform it, and then do his work. Or he may do his work while in the state of ihram, and then when he finishes his work, he completes his 'Umrah.
So here there is a difference between a person whose intention arises after he finishes his work, and another person whose intention is prior. For the second one, we tell him: enter the state of ihram, even from Jeddah, or from below it, wherever the intention arose. As for the one who had a prior intention, it is not permissible for him to pass the miqat without entering the state of ihram from it.
