The ruling on passing the miqat without entering ihram

Question:
If a man intends to perform Hajj and comes to Makkah and stays there for a week, is it possible for him to perform Hajj from his house, or does he have to go? If a man intends to perform Hajj and comes to Makkah and stays there, does he enter ihram for Hajj from his house, or does he go to the miqat?

Answer:
If a person is coming to perform Hajj and passes the miqat without entering ihram and goes to Makkah and sits there, then when he wants to enter ihram, he is required to return to the miqat. This is because passing it the first time was a mistake; passing it the first time was a mistake. It was obligatory for him to enter ihram, so when he passed it, he made a mistake. Therefore, he is required to make up for this mistake by returning and entering ihram from the miqat. If he enters ihram from a place before the miqat, a sacrifice becomes obligatory upon him, because he left an obligatory part of the obligations of Hajj or of the obligations of 'Umrah, which is entering ihram at the miqat. If he returns and enters ihram from the miqat, he owes nothing. However, if he enters ihram from Makkah, it is obligatory for him to offer a sacrifice, and returning does not benefit him. Even if he returned, it would not benefit him, because he entered ihram. That is the end of it.
