The ruling on one who passes the miqat without entering ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: A brother asks, saying: I reside in the southern part of the Kingdom, and I set out for the Noble Mecca to perform 'Umrah. I passed the miqat without entering ihram, and I entered ihram from Jeddah. What is the ruling in this matter? May Allah reward you.
The answer: If you intended to perform 'Umrah when you passed the miqat, then a sacrificial animal is obligatory upon you for having left part of the miqat; because Jeddah is not a miqat for you, but rather it is a miqat for its residents and those residing in it.
As for if you did not intend to perform 'Umrah until you were in Jeddah, and you did not intend 'Umrah when you passed the miqat, then you owe nothing. It is obligatory for every Muslim who intends to perform 'Umrah or Hajj to enter ihram from the miqat he passes through. So, if one is on the route from Madinah, he enters ihram from Madinah, from the miqat of Madinah. If he comes from the coast, from Sham or Egypt, he enters ihram from Rabigh. If he is from Yemen, he enters ihram from the miqat of Yemen, Qulaym. And if he is on the route from Najd or Ta'if, he enters ihram from the miqat of Ta'if, Wadi Qarn. This is what is obligatory upon the believer, and one must not pass the miqats without entering ihram. As for if he did not intend Hajj or 'Umrah, but rather came to Jeddah or to Mecca for a need, for work, to visit a relative or a friend, and did not intend Hajj or 'Umrah, then he is not required to enter ihram. And whenever he intends to perform 'Umrah and enters ihram from Jeddah or from al-Tan'im outside the Haram, there is no harm in that, meaning for 'Umrah. As for Hajj, he enters ihram from wherever he wishes; whenever he resolves to perform Hajj, he enters ihram, even from Mecca. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
