The Miqat for 'Umrah for One Who Is in Jeddah

Question:
This is a question from the website. The questioner says: I am from Libya and I came to Jeddah not with the intention of performing 'Umrah, but for work. After a few days, I intended to perform 'Umrah. Do I go to the Miqat of al-Juhfah, or do I intend from my location in Jeddah? And is Jeddah a Miqat?

Answer:
Jeddah is a Miqat for its residents and for anyone who intends to perform 'Umrah from there. Since you intended to perform 'Umrah from there, you enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. It is a Miqat for its residents and a Miqat for anyone who intends to perform 'Umrah from there. As for the one who intends to perform 'Umrah before the Miqat, he enters the state of ihram from the Miqat he passes. Likewise, if he intends to perform 'Umrah inside the Miqat but before the Haram, before entering the Haram, he enters the state of ihram from his location. As for the one who intends to perform 'Umrah while he is inside the Haram, within the miles, he must go out to the halal area and enter the state of ihram from the halal area.
