Question:
I came from Yemen on an 'Umrah visa, but my intention was to work.
Answer:
You were in Jeddah for a week and entered ihram from Jeddah. May Allah grant you success. What is your miqat? It is not Jeddah. You are from Yemen, so your miqat is al-Sa'diyyah. Your miqat is al-Sa'diyyah, which is Yalamlam. In the hadith, it is called Yalamlam, and people call it al-Sa'diyyah. This is the miqat for the people of Yemen. So, you should enter ihram from al-Sa'diyyah, not from Jeddah. If you entered ihram from Jeddah, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment) because you neglected an obligatory duty of 'Umrah, which is entering ihram from the miqat. The fidyah is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah and distributing it to the poor. If you are unable to slaughter the sheep, you must fast for ten days. Yes.
