Where does a resident of Makkah enter the state of ihram for 'Umrah?

Question:
Abdullah from al-Taif is with us on the line. Please, my brother Abdullah. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. May Allah keep you safe, Shaykh. May Allah keep you safe. I have a question for the Shaykh, if you please, go ahead. I am originally a resident of al-Taif, and I was in Makkah and I wanted to perform 'Umrah. Do I have to go out beyond the boundaries of the Haram, or do I head to the miqat and enter ihram from there and come back? Is it permissible for me to enter ihram from, for example, Makkah itself, or after leaving the Haram? Thank you.

Answer:
My brother, do not enter ihram for 'Umrah from Makkah. Go out to the boundaries of the Haram, to the boundaries of the Haram, to al-Tan'im, to al-Ja'ranah, to the boundaries of the Haram from any direction. There are clear signs marking them. Enter ihram from outside them and perform the 'Umrah, and do not go to the miqat. Yes.
