Ihram for 'Umrah for one who goes to Jeddah for work

Question:
May Allah reward you. I am going to Jeddah for work, and I have the intention to perform 'Umrah with a high degree of certainty once I finish my work. My question is: from where do I enter ihram? And is anything obligatory upon me if I do not perform 'Umrah?

Answer:
If you do not perform 'Umrah, nothing is obligatory upon you, because you did not intend to perform 'Umrah. It is permissible for you to enter Makkah for a need and complete your need. 'Umrah has virtue and reward in it, but it is not obligatory upon you. It is not obligatory for you to perform 'Umrah.
As for entering the state of ihram, you enter it from the miqat (boundary) that you passed while intending to perform 'Umrah. However, if you passed the miqat without intending to perform 'Umrah and then intended it after passing it, you enter ihram from the miqat from which you intended. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: meaning the miqats, meaning from where he intended. Yes. Unless you intended to perform 'Umrah while you were in Makkah. In that case, you must go out to Tan'im or al-Ja'ranah and enter ihram from there. Yes.
