What is the ruling on one who passes the miqat without entering the state of ihram for fear of being turned back during the days of Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The state of ihram after the miqat: A man reached the miqat and did not enter the state of ihram.

The Shaykh : Why?

The questioner : For fear of being turned back, especially now on the eighth and ninth of Dhu al-Hijjah. Some people come to me from the Hijaz, from Saudi Arabia, for Hajj. When they arrive, if their passport is not stamped for Hajj, they are turned back. So he prefers to enter Makkah before entering the state of ihram, and then after entering this point, he enters the state of ihram, having passed the miqat. Is his Hajj valid and his ihram valid for this...?

The Shaykh : Is it possible to find a solution to this problem? Is the miqat a square meter? Say no?

The questioner : No, it is not a square meter.

The Shaykh : Okay, how much area do you give to the miqat? How many meters?

The questioner : The perimeter in Makkah is a very large area, hundreds of kilometers.

The Shaykh : Okay, so if he enters in his regular clothes at the first miqat and crosses the boundaries that do not allow him to enter in the state of ihram wearing the ihram clothes.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Ah, he walks ten meters, a hundred meters, or whatever, until no one sees him, and there he puts on his ihram clothes and recites the talbiyah for Hajj. What is the problem? May Allah reward you.

The questioner : There is no problem.

The Shaykh : Not at all.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
