The ruling on one who passes the miqat with the intention of 'Umrah

Question:
I came to this country on a work visa via Jeddah, and I did not enter the state of ihram due to my ignorance. Then, the person who was receiving me asked me why I had not entered ihram? I told him that I would enter ihram from Makkah, so he asked me to enter ihram, and I did, praise be to Allah, and I performed the 'Umrah. Is there anything required of me in this matter?

Answer:
If you came from your country intending to perform 'Umrah, then a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you because you passed the miqat of your country. However, if you did not intend to perform 'Umrah until the men told you, "Why have you not entered ihram?" and you intended to perform 'Umrah from that time, then you enter ihram from the place where you intended, outside of Makkah. You enter ihram from the place where you resolved to perform 'Umrah. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) means that he intended.
