Passing One’s Miqat and Entering Ihram from Another Miqat

Question:
A man says: I passed my specific miqat, which is al-Sa’diyyah, and then when I reached Badah, before wearing the ihram, I headed to the miqat of al-Shaykh al-Kabir and entered ihram from there. Is there anything required of me in this?

Answer:
Yes. It is obligatory for him to enter ihram from the miqat he passed on his way, which is al-Sa’diyyah. If he came from the direction of Yemen, he enters ihram from al-Sa’diyyah. It is not permissible for him to go to Naqat al-Sa’id and enter ihram from Naqat al-Sa’id, which is the miqat for the people of Madinah, unless he is intending to go to al-Sa’id and not to Makkah. If he is coming from Yemen intending to go to al-Sa’id, or intending to go to Riyadh, or if he is going to Riyadh or to al-Sa’id, and then he goes to Makkah, he enters ihram from the miqat on his way, because his ruling becomes the ruling of the people of the direction he went to. However, if he is intending to go to Makkah, but he passed his miqat and went and entered ihram from another miqat while intending to go to Makkah, this is not permissible and does not give him that ruling. Yes.
