Is it permissible to visit relatives in Jeddah and then enter the state of ihram from their place for 'Umrah?

The questioner : I reside in Riyadh, and when I want to go perform 'Umrah, I have relatives in Jeddah. Can I go sit with them without entering ihram at the miqat?

The Shaykh : No, you must enter ihram from the miqat.

The questioner : I will go down to their place in Jeddah first.

The Shaykh : That is contrary to the ruling. No, you go down to their place after you have completed the 'Umrah. Perform 'Umrah first and make this journey for Allah the Exalted

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh : for the purpose of performing 'Umrah, and the visit follows as a secondary matter. The matter does not take a long time; that is, if you go by plane, you descend from the airport to Makkah in your ihram because you entered ihram from the miqat. The matter does not exceed three hours without traffic congestion,

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. Welcome. May Allah prolong your life.

The Shaykh : That is possible.
