Ruling on one who arrives for 'Umrah and passes the miqat without entering ihram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
One of the listening brothers sent a message saying: I am Egyptian and a resident of the Kingdom. I have a set of questions. I ask first this question: My mother came to perform 'Umrah in the month of Ramadan without entering ihram from the miqat. Then she stayed in Jeddah for three days before going to Makkah to perform 'Umrah. Does she have to offer a sacrificial animal, or not?
Answer: This requires detail: If she came from Egypt for 'Umrah, it is obligatory for her to enter ihram from the miqat, which is the miqat for the people of Egypt, al-Juhfah. If she travels by sea or air, she enters ihram when she reaches the point opposite al-Juhfah. If she travels by land, she enters ihram when she reaches al-Juhfah via the coastal route, or from the miqat of al-Madinah if she comes via al-Madinah. This is what is obligatory for her. If she enters ihram from Jeddah, she must offer a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor. A sheep suffices for the sacrifice, or one-seventh of a camel, or one-seventh of a cow. This is what is obligatory for her for leaving the miqat. One sheep, meaning: a one-year-old sheep or a two-year-old goat, to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor, or one-seventh of a camel, or one-seventh of a cow, to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor. This is if she intended 'Umrah from her country, for example from Egypt, but did not enter ihram until Jeddah, either through negligence or ignorance. In that case, her ihram from Jeddah is valid, and her 'Umrah is valid, but it is incomplete and must be completed with a sacrificial animal because she left the Shari'ah miqat which is obligatory for her. However, if she came from Egypt without intending 'Umrah, but came for a need, and when she reached Jeddah, the idea of 'Umrah occurred to her and she initiated 'Umrah anew with a new intention, then her ihram from Jeddah is valid and she owes nothing; because she did not intend 'Umrah except from Jeddah, and did not initiate it except from Jeddah. Likewise, for example, one who comes from Riyadh to Jeddah, or from al-Madinah to Jeddah, or from the Levant to Jeddah, or from elsewhere, and has no intention of 'Umrah, but when he reaches Jeddah, the idea occurs to him and he initiates 'Umrah and wishes to perform it, he owes nothing. His miqat for ihram is valid, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he mentioned the miqats, he said:
And whoever is within that—meaning within the miqats—his place of entry is from where he initiatesومن كان دون ذلك -يعني دون المواقيت- فمهله من حيث أنشأ
, even the people of Makkah from Makkah. This means that one who is within the miqats enters ihram from where he initiates the intention of ihram, whether Jeddah, al-Sharai', al-Tan'im, al-Baydha', or elsewhere, except the Haram. If he is in the middle of the Haram, he goes out to the Halal. If the idea occurs to him while he is in Makkah to perform 'Umrah, he goes out to the Halal; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered 'A'ishah to go out to the Halal when she wanted to perform 'Umrah, he said:
Go out to al-Tan'imاخرجي إلى التنعيم
al-Tan'im is the nearest point of the Halal. So if he is in Makkah and the idea of 'Umrah occurs to him for himself, or for his deceased father, or his deceased mother, or for any of his other deceased relatives, or for his father who is unable due to old age or an illness that is not expected to be cured, he goes out to the Halal, such as 'Arafah, such as al-Tan'im, which are called the mosques of 'A'ishah, such as al-Ja'ranah, meaning outside the miles, beyond the miles of the Halal. Then he calls out the talbiyah for 'Umrah and enters. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
