The place of entering ihram for 'Umrah from Jeddah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I work as a merchant and I visit Jeddah. After that, when I settle in Jeddah, I want to perform 'Umrah, so I enter ihram from Jeddah. Is my 'Umrah valid?

Answer:
If you came to Jeddah intending to perform 'Umrah, then you must enter ihram from the miqat you pass on your way, and you do not enter ihram from Jeddah. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the miqats:
and these Mawaqit are for the people at those very places, and besides them for those who come thorough those placesهن لهن ولمن أتى عليهن من غير
Sahih al-Bukhari 1524
for them for whoever intends Hajjأهلهن لمن يريد الحج
or 'Umrah. However, if you came from your country not intending to perform 'Umrah, but when you arrived in Jeddah you decided to perform 'Umrah, then you enter ihram from the place where you made the intention, provided it is outside the Haram. You enter ihram from Jeddah because you made the intention there. Yes.
