Entering the state of ihram from Jeddah for the people of al-Bahah and leaving the miqat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A long letter, Honorable Shaykh, from one of the brothers, the summary of which is that he says: I live in the city of Jeddah with my family, and my relatives live in the Baqah region. My wife and I performed Hajj five years ago. When we wanted to perform Hajj, we traveled to the Baqah region to leave the children with my relatives. We returned to the city of Jeddah on the seventh of Dhu al-Hijjah, and we entered the state of ihram from Jeddah on the morning of the eighth day. We did not enter the state of ihram from the miqat, which is the miqat of Ta'if, despite passing through it, because we were ignorant that we should enter the state of ihram from Jeddah since it is our place of residence. Is anything required of us in this matter?

Answer:
Yes, you made a mistake in this. It was obligatory for you to enter the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Baqah, which is the one you pass through, namely Ta'if. Since you did not enter the state of ihram from the miqat, a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you; each of you must slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor of the Haram. Your Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
