The place of entering ihram for one who travels to Jeddah with the intention of performing 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'As sent a set of questions about 'Umrah. He says: If a person travels from his city of Riyadh to Jeddah and then wants to perform 'Umrah, does he enter the state of ihram from Jeddah?

Answer:
No, if he is traveling from Riyadh or from elsewhere and intends to perform 'Umrah, he must enter the state of ihram from the miqat. Even if he has a need in Jeddah and goes there, he goes while in the state of ihram. He goes to Jeddah while in the state of ihram and does not enter from the miqats while not in the state of ihram. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the miqats is:
They are for them, and for those who come to them from among people other than their own who intend to perform Hajjهُنَّ لَهُنَّ وَلِمَنْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِنَّ مِمَّنْ يُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ
