The ruling on entering ihram from Makkah for one who visited it while ignorant of the ruling

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah’s forgiveness. I was visiting my uncle in Makkah and stayed there for two weeks. When the time for Hajj came, I intended to perform Hajj and entered ihram from my uncle’s house. I am from Riyadh, and I entered ihram while ignorant of the ruling. What is the ruling on my ihram, and do I have any sin on me?

Answer:
If you went to Makkah without intending to perform Hajj, but only intending to visit your uncle, and then when you were there and the time for Hajj came, you decided to perform Hajj, this does not contradict the ruling. You enter ihram from Makkah; you enter ihram from the place from which you intended to perform Hajj, and there is no blame on you. However, if you went from Riyadh intending to perform Hajj and did not enter ihram from the miqat, but rather entered ihram from Makkah, it is obligatory for you to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) for leaving off the ihram from the miqat. Yes.
