The ruling on entering the state of ihram for one coming from Africa to Jeddah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for one who comes directly from Africa to Jeddah without passing through the miqat to make Jeddah his miqat?

Answer:
Jeddah is not a miqat except for its residents, and it is obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram from al-Juhfah. One who comes from Africa should enter the state of ihram from al-Juhfah if he passes by it by air or by sea. If he comes via al-Madinah, he should enter the state of ihram from the miqat of al-Madinah. As for passing by every miqat from Jeddah, a sacrificial animal is due upon him for passing by a miqat like this.
