Entering the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah and the fidyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: My wife and I came from Riyadh to Jeddah, and I stayed there for five days before performing Hajj. My wife and I came from Riyadh to Jeddah, and I stayed there for five days before performing Hajj, and I entered the state of ihram from Jeddah. Is there anything wrong with my entering the state of ihram? And regarding the fidyah, do I pay it for myself and my wife, or does each of us pay separately?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
When you came to Jeddah, did you intend to perform Hajj or did you not intend it? When you came to Jeddah, did you intend to perform Hajj or did you not intend it?

The questioner:
The questioner?

The Shaykh:
The questioner. If you intended to perform Hajj, then you must offer a sacrifice, because Jeddah is not your miqat. If you did not intend it, and you came to Jeddah for a need or business, and then it occurred to you and you decided to prepare to enter the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah, there is no harm, and you owe no fidyah if you entered the state of ihram for Hajj only. You owe no fidyah. However, if you entered the state of ihram for both Hajj and 'Umrah, then you must offer a hady and she must offer a hady. Each of you must offer a hady, the hady of tamattu'. If you entered the state of ihram for both 'Umrah and Hajj. But if you did not enter the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah, then you owe nothing. However, if you intended to perform Hajj when you passed the miqat, and you did not leave except from Jeddah, then you must offer a sacrifice for passing the miqat. But if you came from Jeddah for a need, did not intend anything, and then you requested to enter the state of ihram for Hajj from Jeddah, then you owe nothing, and praise be to Allah. Yes. Praise be to Allah.
