A man came from al-Madinah intending to perform 'Umrah, but did not enter the state of ihram from Dhu al-Hulayfah, then returned to al-Sayl and entered ihram from there?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person comes from al-Madinah to Makkah and does not enter the state of ihram from Dhu al-Hulayfah, and when he reaches Makkah he goes to al-Sayl and enters ihram from there,

Answer:
that does not benefit him unless he did not intend 'Umrah when he passed Dhu al-Hulayfah; in that case, he enters ihram from the place where he intended. But if he passed Dhu al-Hulayfah while intending 'Umrah and went beyond it, it does not benefit him to go back and enter ihram from the miqat of al-Ta'if or from any of the miqats; rather, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment). Yes.
