Is it permissible for a man to enter the state of ihram from a miqat other than the miqat of his country?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, now regarding the people of Iraq, my question is, in other words, a second time, that they must enter the state of ihram only from their miqat. I mean, if a person, for example, went to buy a spare part from a country near another miqat and entered the state of ihram from the miqat of the people of Madinah, is that permissible? Does that suffice for him?

The Shaykh : It is well known among the jurists that it is not permissible to pass beyond one's miqat.

The questioner : He did not pass beyond it.

The Shaykh : No, do not rush me. If he did not pass beyond his miqat, then from which miqat is it valid? But do you say it is permissible to enter the state of ihram from a place that is not a miqat? I do not think you would say it is permissible.
The student : No one says that.

The Shaykh : All right, so you are now arguing around the statement of permissibility.
The student : Permissibility of what?

The Shaykh : You have not mentioned it yet. You are still rushing me.
The student : The Shaykh :

The Shaykh : We are now in agreement with the scholars that it is not permissible for any person in the state of ihram for Hajj or 'Umrah to pass beyond the miqat while intending to enter the state of ihram, except if he is already in the state of ihram, correct?
The student : Yes, yes.
Another student: He passes beyond any miqat.

The Shaykh : Any miqat. So, if a man, for example, a person from the Levant, left his country, passed beyond Dhul-Hulayfah and al-Juhfah, and arrived at... what is its name? Is it Yalamlam or what?
The student : Yalamlam, Yemen.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : Yalamlam.

The Shaykh : And he entered the state of ihram from there, while from the moment he left his country he had intended to enter the state of ihram. Is that permissible?
The student : It is permissible if he intended to enter the state of ihram...

The Shaykh : This is our companion's deep point.
The student : He did not don the garments of the rites.

The Shaykh : No, you certainly did not understand me, and therefore you need to be a bit more patient. I said the person from the Levant left his country and passed beyond Dhul-Hulayfah while intending to enter the state of ihram.
The student : Intending to enter the state of ihram.

The Shaykh : Yes, but he intended to go to Yemen and enter the state of ihram from there, but from the moment he left his country he intended to enter the state of ihram. Is it permissible for him to pass beyond Dhul-Hulayfah?
The student : It is not permissible.

The Shaykh : All right, so you just said a moment ago that it is permissible, so I thought you were hasty, and it is better for you to say you were hasty.
The student : I was hasty.

The Shaykh : All right, now I said...
The student : Our Shaykh, there is no wonder... Brother Adnan, Brother Adnan is a military man.

The Shaykh : You are now saying a true statement, but you are saying a statement that is farthest from the truth, that it is permissible to enter the state of ihram from other than the miqat.
The student : From other than his miqat.

The Shaykh : I mean, for example, it is permissible to enter the state of ihram between the two miqats.
The student : There is a question, O Shaykh, is it permissible for him?

The Shaykh : Be patient, let me understand, and I hope I am mistaken and not wrong. I understand that it is permissible to enter the state of ihram between the two miqats because it is adjacent to one of them.
The student : According to the fatwa of Shaykh Adnan, it is permissible.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : According to what Shaykh Adnan adopted, it is permissible.

The Shaykh : Did you see how I understood you?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : I do not think he would say this statement unless you were to tell your companion that you did not understand him, just as he did not understand me.
The student : And he specifies, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : ... I.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : We have two miqats. We people of the Levant have Dhul-Hulayfah and we have al-Juhfah. I passed by Dhul-Hulayfah intending Hajj... and between Dhul-Hulayfah... until... is that correct or incorrect? Because if it is correct, that is better, and if it is incorrect, that is also better until you return to the correct path.
The student : Now, our Shaykh... is that correct or incorrect?

The Shaykh : I mean, I passed beyond the first miqat, which is Dhul-Hulayfah, and I did not enter the state of ihram in the middle of the road from Dhul-Hulayfah to al-Juhfah. I entered the state of ihram. I asked a moment ago, is it permissible? You said it is, and I think you are also mistaken.
The student : I was mistaken...

The Shaykh : But...
The student : ... Of course, it is a valid case.

The Shaykh : But it was presented to us.
The student : Yes, between al-Juhfah and between Dhul-Hulayfah.

The Shaykh : Dhul-Hulayfah, yes.
The student : Yes, adjacent to them.

The Shaykh : ... between al-Juhfah and Dhul-Hulayfah...
The student : al-Juhfah.

The Shaykh : No... the second area.
The student : ... .

The Shaykh : I did not... Dhul-Hulayfah. I entered the state of ihram in the middle here, the middle here, al-Juhfah and here.
The student : The answer is one...

The Shaykh : ... .
The student : But I... our Shaykh.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : ... meaning, as long as the matter is... we cover the same distance between Makkah and Madinah, and there...

The Shaykh : It is correct.
The student : Yes.
Another student: ... between Makkah and Madinah, for example.
The student : I mean, between al-Juhfah and...

The Shaykh : Our statement is not necessarily your statement. And do you insist that this is Adnan's opinion, may Allah protect him? I am saying...
The student : ... .

The Shaykh : This is Dhul-Hulayfah, and this is Makkah, and this is al-Juhfah...
The student : ... .

The Shaykh : Do not speak like politicians.
The student : I wish...

The Shaykh : ... .
The student : ... .
