The Miqat for the One Arriving by Sea from Sudan and Entering Ihram from Jeddah

Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh, I am coming from Sudan with the intention of performing 'Umrah, but I entered the state of ihram from the city of Jeddah. Is the city of Jeddah the miqat for the people of Sudan, or is it in the sea? What is required of me in this matter of mine? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
For Sudan and other places, their miqat is in the sea when they pass the first miqat. If they pass the forest, they enter ihram; if they pass the miqat of Yemen, they enter ihram. They must enter ihram from the first miqat they pass, trying to be in the sea. If they do not pass a miqat and reach Jeddah before passing anything, they enter ihram from Jeddah. The point is that the people of Sudan and others who come by sea must enter ihram from the first miqat they pass when they reach it.
