I intended to perform 'Umrah, but I did not enter the state of ihram from the miqat, believing that the ihram is from al-Tan'im. What is the ruling on this, given that one person told me that my 'Umrah is

The questioner : He says that I went to perform 'Umrah and passed the miqat for ihram, entering the Holy Mosque of Mecca at the time of the Fajr call to prayer. I entered the Sacred Mosque and prayed Fajr while I did not know the miqat at that time. When I left the Haram, I asked about the mosque for ihram, and one person directed me to the mosque of al-Tan'im. I went there and entered the state of ihram, then returned and performed the rituals of 'Umrah, believing in my mind that this was the miqat for ihram. When I returned to where I reside, one person told me: "Your 'Umrah is not valid." Another said: "Absolutely, you have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment)." The third said: "Entering ihram from al-Tan'im is sufficient for you." Is the 'Umrah valid, or do I have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment)? May you be rewarded.
The Shaykh : The 'Umrah is valid because you performed its pillars: you entered the state of ihram, performed tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), performed sa'y (walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah), and also performed taqsir (shortening the hair) or halq (shaving the head). However, you have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) because you neglected an obligatory duty, which is entering ihram from the miqat. It was obligatory for you, when you arrived from Jazan intending to perform 'Umrah, to enter ihram from the miqat you passed. Because you neglected this obligatory duty, the scholars made it obligatory for you to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) by slaughtering an animal in Mecca and distributing it to the poor there.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
