Entering the state of ihram for 'Umrah from Makkah while visiting Jeddah

Question:
This questioner says: I am a resident of al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. I want to perform 'Umrah from Jeddah to visit my brother in Jeddah. Is there anything required of me, or is it obligatory for me to intend 'Umrah from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah?

Answer:
If you are coming from al-Madinah and you want to perform 'Umrah and visit your brother in Jeddah, then you must enter the state of ihram from the miqat of al-Madinah, which is al-Hajun. If you wish, you may perform 'Umrah first when you arrive in Makkah, and then go out to your brother in Jeddah. Or, if you wish, you may do the opposite: go to Jeddah while in ihram, pass by your brother, and when you are finished visiting him, go to Makkah and perform 'Umrah. The bottom line is that it is not permissible for you to pass the miqat of al-Madinah, which is on your way, while intending to perform 'Umrah, unless you are in ihram. Yes.
