The place of entering ihram for 'Umrah for one who comes from the Emirates

The questioner:
This questioner says: We came from the UAE without intending to perform 'Umrah, but we intended to perform 'Umrah in Ramadan. Do we have to return to the miqat when we enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah, or do we enter the state of ihram from Jeddah? I do not know?

The Shaykh:
If your intention for 'Umrah was with you from the UAE or from any other place, you must enter the state of ihram from the miqat; you return to it and enter the state of ihram there. However, if you are coming from Makkah and did not intend to perform 'Umrah in Makkah, but intended to perform 'Umrah from Makkah, you go out to Tan'im or al-Hudaybiyyah and enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah. Yes.

The questioner:
Even if we stayed in Jeddah for two weeks.

The Shaykh:
The important thing is: did they intend to perform 'Umrah when they passed the miqat, or did they not intend it? If they intended to perform 'Umrah from the miqat, they must enter the state of ihram from the miqat they passed; they return to it. But if they came, passed the miqat without intending 'Umrah, wanting to stay in Makkah and fast Ramadan in Makkah, and then intended to perform 'Umrah while in Makkah, they go out and enter the state of ihram from Tan'im. And if they intended to perform 'Umrah after passing the miqat but before reaching the Haram, they enter the state of ihram from the place where they formed the intention. Yes.
