The ruling on one who comes from his town for 'Umrah and passes through Jeddah and enters ihram from there

Question:
The questioner, Umm 'Abdullah from Riyadh, says: Honorable Shaykh, we went for 'Umrah via Jeddah and stayed there for two days with the intention of completing some business and then going to Makkah to perform 'Umrah. When we wanted to perform 'Umrah, we entered ihram from Jeddah. Is the 'Umrah valid? And what is obligatory for us to do if the 'Umrah is not valid? If you went

Answer:
from your town with the intention of 'Umrah, then it is obligatory for you to enter ihram from the miqat you pass through on your way to Makkah, and it is not permissible for you to pass it without entering ihram, because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated these miqats, he said: "For them, and for whoever comes to them from outside their region, who intends Hajj or 'Umrah." The one who intends Hajj or 'Umrah is not allowed to pass the miqat without entering ihram. Even if he is going to Jeddah, this does not permit him to leave off entering ihram from the miqat. What happened to you is that you went to Jeddah while intending 'Umrah from your town, and you did not enter ihram except from Jeddah. Thus, you have left off an obligatory part of 'Umrah, which is entering ihram from the miqat. Therefore, each of you owes a fidyah, which is slaughtering a sheep that is acceptable for the 'Id sacrifice. It is slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor of the Haram. Your 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills, but it is made up by this fidyah. And whoever does not find [a sheep] fasts for ten days. Yes.
And for those who passed by them without being from their people, among those who intended Hajj or 'Umrah, the one who intends Hajj or 'Umrah is not permitted to pass the miqat without entering the state of ihram, even if he is going to Jeddah; this does not permit him to leave the ihram from the miqat. So what happened to you is that you went to Jeddah while you intended to perform 'Umrah from your country, and you did not enter ihram except from Jeddah. You have thereby left an obligatory duty of the 'Umrah, which is entering ihram from the miqat. So upon each of you is a fidyah, which is slaughtering a sheep that is acceptable for the 'Id sacrifice, to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor of the Haram. Your 'Umrah is valid, if Allah wills, but it is compensated by this fidyah. And whoever does not find [a sheep] fasts for ten days. Yes.
