The ruling on passing the miqat with the intention of 'Umrah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. If a man intends to perform 'Umrah from Riyadh and goes to Jeddah, intending to perform 'Umrah after finishing his work, for example after two days, what is required of him? Does he enter the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Najd, or after finishing his work?

Answer:
It is obligatory for him that if he passes the miqat, he enters the state of ihram, as long as he intends to perform 'Umrah. He enters ihram, passes through Makkah, performs the 'Umrah, and then goes up to Jeddah for work. This is better for him. What is your opinion? Or he goes to Jeddah while in ihram, starts his work while in ihram, finishes his work while in ihram, then goes down to Makkah and performs the 'Umrah afterwards. It is not permissible for him to pass the miqat while intending 'Umrah unless he is in ihram, whether he performs the 'Umrah upon his first arrival or after finishing his work in Jeddah or elsewhere. It is a defect for him to pass it, but if he happens to pass it and makes a mistake, then if he wants to perform 'Umrah, he returns to the miqat he passed and enters ihram from there. Yes.
