Is it obligatory for a resident of Makkah passing through the miqat to enter the state of ihram from the miqat?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: I am a man who wants to go for 'Umrah, and I am a resident of Jeddah, and I am traveling to my family, and then I want to perform 'Umrah a few days later. So, do I enter ihram from the miqat or from Jeddah?

Answer : It is not obligatory for him to enter ihram from the miqat, because he is only passing through the miqat intending to go to his family. If he wants to perform 'Umrah, he enters ihram from his home. This is unlike the one whose family is not in Jeddah, but who is, for example, from al-Qasim, and traveled to Makkah for 'Umrah and for a purpose he has in Jeddah. In that case, it is obligatory for him to enter ihram from the miqat, then perform the 'Umrah, and then attend to his business. Otherwise, he enters ihram from the miqat and remains in his state of ihram until he finishes his business, then he goes to Makkah and completes his 'Umrah. Yes.
