The ruling on one who enters Makkah without entering the state of ihram

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, if a person enters Makkah without entering the state of ihram, does he owe a sacrificial animal?

Answer:
If he passed by the miqat intending to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, he must enter the state of ihram from the miqat and not pass it without doing so; he enters the state of ihram from the miqat. If he passes it and enters the state of ihram after passing it, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment), unless he passed the miqat without intending Hajj or 'Umrah, but then decided to perform Hajj or 'Umrah after passing the miqat. In that case, he enters the state of ihram from the place where he made the intention. However, if it is 'Umrah, it is required that he enters the state of ihram from outside the Haram (sacred precinct). As for Hajj, it is permissible to enter the state of ihram for it from Makkah or from the non-sacred area. Yes.
