Question:
This questioner says that he is from Makkah and works in Tabuk, and he came wanting to perform 'Umrah, but he did not enter the state of ihram from the miqat. He thinks that people from Makkah do not enter the state of ihram from the miqat.
Answer:
No, my brother, people from Makkah and others, if they pass by the miqat and want to perform 'Umrah, they enter the state of ihram from the miqat. The ruling for a person from Makkah becomes the ruling for a person from outside Makkah. The ruling for a person from Makkah is the ruling for a person from outside Makkah: he enters the state of ihram from the miqat. So if he passes the miqat without entering the state of ihram and enters it from a place beyond it, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment) because he left an obligatory act, which is entering the state of ihram from the miqat.
