The ruling on entering the state of ihram from 'Arafah for one who did not pass through the miqat

Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: I am in charge of one of the groups, and I delayed entering the state of ihram for performing Hajj until I reached 'Arafah. Then I entered the state of ihram from 'Arafah. Some students of knowledge informed me that entering the state of ihram for Hajj is not valid except from within the boundaries of the Haram, but I did not heed his words and entered the state of ihram from my location in 'Arafah. Is my Hajj valid?

Answer:
We return to the question. One of them says: I work in a distinguished group. Where did the sweet one go? Likewise. From the body. He says the group is resident in Makkah, he is in Makkah with them and wants to perform Hajj, the group itself. The group may be from Makkah or outside Makkah. No, we must know; if it is from [Hammas], it will differ from if it is coming from Riyadh or elsewhere. If he is coming from Riyadh or from any direction, and he passed the miqat, it is obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram from the miqat. If he enters the state of ihram after passing the miqat, he owes a sacrifice, his Hajj is valid, if Allah wills, but he owes a sacrifice, because he left an obligatory act of Hajj, which is entering the state of ihram from the miqat. As for if he is a resident of Makkah and its surroundings, then he enters the state of ihram from his location, from his house, from the town where he is, before the miqat. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, regarding the mention of the miqats: "And whoever's home is before that, then his miqat is his home, or his town, or his house." Yes.
