I am from Egypt and work in Jordan, and I want to perform 'Umrah or Hajj

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. إنَّما الأعمال بالنيات ، وإنما لكلِّ امرئٍ ما نوى
Sahih al-Bukhari 1
. The question is: I am a young Egyptian man working in Jordan, and the opportunity has been presented to me to perform the obligatory 'Umrah or Hajj; is it permissible for me to perform 'Umrah and Hajj from here, or must I travel to my country and make the intention from there? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : No, it is permissible for you to perform Hajj from here.

The questioner : From here.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed; because you do not enter the state of ihram except at the miqat you pass through, and the miqat for the people of Sham and Jordan is Dhu al-Hulayfah; so you enter ihram from there, and you have no need to return to Egypt.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.
