The ruling on entering the state of ihram from the first miqat one passes on the way

Question:
Yes. This questioner, Abu Yusuf, says: A person wants to go from Riyadh to Makkah intending to perform 'Umrah. On my journey, I will pass through al-Madinah and stay there, then Jeddah and stay there, then al-Ta'if and stay there, and then I will go to Makkah. My question is: From where do I enter ihram? Do I enter ihram from the miqat of al-Madinah, from Dhul-Hulayfah?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the area between the miqats: or 'Umrah. So you enter ihram from the miqat of Dhul-Hulayfah, the first miqat you pass on your way to Makkah, and you proceed with your ihram. Either you start with the 'Umrah, and once you have completed the 'Umrah, you go to the destination you want, whether Jeddah, al-Ta'if, or something else; or you go to your destination and remain in your ihram until you finish your business, going to Makkah while in ihram and performing the 'Umrah.
