Question : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I traveled from Riyadh by plane intending to perform 'Umrah, and I entered the state of ihram from Jeddah. I ask you now to inform me about the 'Umrah, and what is obligatory upon me?
Answer : Yes, I say that if a person travels from Riyadh to Makkah with the intention of 'Umrah, it is obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram when he passes the miqat of the people of Najd, which is Qarn al-Manazil, known as al-Sayl al-Kabir. If he delays the ihram until Jeddah and enters the state of ihram from there, he has entered the state of ihram from other than the miqat, and it is required of him...
...as the scholars mentioned, to slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, because he left an obligatory act of the 'Umrah. As for one who comes to Jeddah for work and does not intend to perform 'Umrah, but then decides afterward to perform 'Umrah, he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah, because one who passes the miqat without the intention of the rites, and then decides afterward to perform the rites, enters the state of ihram from his location, based on the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): "And whoever is below that, [he enters the state of ihram] from where he began."
