The ruling on one who enters Makkah without entering the state of ihram

Question:
The questioner says: My wife and I came from Yemen, and we did not enter the state of ihram. We are now in Makkah. What is the ruling in this case?

Answer:
If you came from Yemen with the intention of performing Hajj, it is obligatory for you to enter the state of ihram from the Yemeni miqat. Or rather, you enter ihram from the miqat you pass on your way, whether it is the Yemeni miqat or another one; you enter ihram from the miqat you pass on your way. If you passed it without entering ihram, you must return to it and enter ihram from it. You return to it and enter ihram from the miqat from which you left without entering ihram. However, if you came from Yemen without the intention of Hajj, such as with the intention of visiting relatives or for work or something similar, and you had no intention of Hajj, and then the intention of Hajj arose for you while you were in Makkah, and you resolved to perform Hajj, and the intention of Hajj occurred after you had passed the miqat, you enter ihram from the place where you formed the intention. You enter ihram from Makkah if the intention of Hajj did not occur until after you arrived in Makkah; in that case, enter ihram from Makkah. But if the intention of Hajj was with you from the day you passed the miqat, it is obligatory for you to return to the miqat and enter ihram from it.
