The questioner : May Allah reward you. If one is inside the miqat, is it obligatory for him to enter the state of ihram from his home, or does he have the option to wait until he leaves the city?
The Shaykh : Yes, he may enter the state of ihram from anywhere in Jeddah, but the best is from his home, without a doubt:
The questioner : And the same is said regarding the miqat...?
The Shaykh : And likewise at the miqat, you do not have a specific place; that is, the entire area around the miqat is a place for entering the state of ihram, because you do not have a specific place there. But in Jeddah, where you have a home, it is best not to pass your home without being in the state of ihram. Do you understand the difference?
