If one travels to Jeddah and passes the miqat intending to perform 'Umrah, does he enter the state of ihram from the miqat or from Jeddah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We begin with the calls, and we take Abu Muhammad from Khamis Mushayt. Peace be upon you, Abu Muhammad. As for me, my work is constantly in Khamis Mushayt; I work in Khamis Mushayt in a government position, and I own a house in Jeddah that belongs to me. So sometimes, when I go to Jeddah, may you live long, I intend while I am in Khamis, in Khamis Mushayt, that if I go to Jeddah, Allah willing, I will stay there for two or three days and then perform 'Umrah. I do not know regarding the ihram: do I enter ihram from Jeddah when I arrive, since I have a house there that belongs to me, or is it obligatory to enter ihram from the miqat, even though the intention for 'Umrah is present from when I am in Khamis Mushayt? All right, listen to the answer from the Shaykh. Blessed is Allah.

Answer:
My brother, you must enter ihram from Khamis, from the miqat of Khamis Mushayt. You must enter ihram from the miqat of this direction, and you must not delay the ihram until you reach Jeddah, even if you have a house there. You enter ihram from the miqat on your route, which is Yamul, the miqat of the people of Yemen, if you come from the coast. And if you come from the route of Ta'if, you enter ihram from al-Sir al-Kabir. Yes.
