If one passes by his miqat while heading to Madinah, is it permissible for him to delay entering the state of ihram until Dhu al-Hulayfah?

The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. There is a disagreement between the Shaykh al-Islam and Imam Malik, and the majority, regarding the permissibility of passing the miqat if one intends to enter the state of ihram from a subsequent miqat. Does this apply to those who land at the Madinah airport and then enter the state of ihram? They have the miqat of Dhu al-Hulayfah in Madinah, and Rabigh. Is it permissible for them to delay entering the state of ihram until Rabigh based on this?
The Shaykh : And they are not from the people of Madinah or from the Levant?
The questioner : Are they not coming from Egypt or from Africa?
The Shaykh : These people as well, if they come from Africa or from Egypt or from the West intending to go to Madinah, then land there and return to Makkah, they must enter the state of ihram from Dhu al-Hulayfah.
The questioner : Even if they will pass by Rabigh?
The Shaykh : Even if they pass by Rabigh, that is the issue.
The questioner : ... Jeddah, do not enter the state of ihram, return to the miqat?
The Shaykh : That does not happen. This does not happen except according to the opinion of the Shaykh al-Islam if one is from the people of Najd, for Qarn al-Manazil is the miqat for the people of Najd. But as I mentioned to you, the more apparent view is contrary to the saying of the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him), and it is undoubtedly more cautious and better.
