Entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah on the Day of 'Arafah for one who does not intend to perform Hajj

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a person will go to Makkah the day after tomorrow on a business trip and will not perform Hajj, but he wants to do

The Shaykh:
perform Hajj.

The questioner:
will not perform Hajj.

The Shaykh:
After Hajj has come, how do you say he did not perform Hajj and after Hajj has come, or he does not want to perform Hajj?

The questioner:
Will not.

The Shaykh:
This is something that happens in the year.

The questioner:
Not this year, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
He did not perform Hajj, meaning Hajj has not come yet.

The questioner:
He says he will not perform Hajj. Will not. Yes.

The Shaykh:
Yes, you say "did not," hmm? If "will not" is correct, yes, will not.

The questioner:
He will not perform Hajj, but he wants to perform 'Umrah on the Day of 'Arafah, so from where does he enter the state of ihram?

The Shaykh:
He enters the state of ihram from the place from which he intended to do so. If he is leaving from here on that day intending to perform 'Umrah, he must enter the state of ihram from the miqat. He enters the state of ihram from the miqat, returns to it, and enters the state of ihram from there. But if he did not intend to perform 'Umrah until he was already in Makkah, he enters the state of ihram from the Haraam, he goes out to the Haraam and enters the state of ihram from the boundaries of the sacred precinct. Yes.
