What is the miqat for a resident of Makkah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I performed 'Umrah on behalf of my deceased mother, and I want to perform another 'Umrah on behalf of my deceased father. So, should he enter the state of ihram from Jeddah because he resides there, or is it sufficient for him to go to al-Tan'im? Please note that he is currently in i'tikaf here in the Sacred Mosque.

Answer:
If he intended to perform 'Umrah from Jeddah, he must enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. However, if he did not intend to enter the state of ihram except from Makkah, he goes out to al-Tan'im and enters the state of ihram from al-Tan'im. So, the one in Makkah, if he intends to perform 'Umrah, he goes out to the non-sacred area (al-Hal) and enters the state of ihram from the non-sacred area. As for the one outside Makkah, he enters the state of ihram from his location if it is before the miqats. If he is at the miqats or beyond the miqats, he enters the state of ihram from the miqat on his path. Yes.
