From where does one enter the state of ihram if one resides in the lands opposite Jeddah?

Question:
It is said that the people of the town of Suwaqin, which is opposite the city of Jeddah on the other coast, enter the state of ihram from Jeddah; because they do not pass by or run parallel to a miqat (boundary). Is this correct? And are the lands opposite Jeddah to be judged by analogy to this?

Answer:
They said this in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), but it is not correct. No one comes to Makkah from any direction without running parallel to one of the miqats, because the miqats encircle Makkah from all directions. Either they pass by them or they run parallel to them. No one enters Makkah except in the state of ihram if he runs parallel to one of these miqats, whether by land, sea, or air. Yes.
