Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the listening brothers, Ahmad Muhammad Awadh from Riyadh, says: I reside in the city of Riyadh. Is it permissible for me to visit a relative in Jeddah and then enter the state of ihram from Jeddah as if I were a resident there, with the intention of performing the lesser pilgrimage (Umrah)? Please note that the reason for my travel was to perform the lesser pilgrimage and visit this relative at the same time, and I traveled directly to Jeddah by plane. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: Repeat it, may Allah grant us assistance.

Answer:
As long as you intend both the lesser pilgrimage and the visit from your own city, it is obligatory for you to enter the state of ihram from the miqat. However, if you did not intend anything but the visit, and then you decided to perform the lesser pilgrimage, you may enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, and there is no harm in that. But as long as you have resolved to perform the lesser pilgrimage along with the visit from your city, you must enter the state of ihram from the miqat, based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he designated the miqats:Sahih Muslim 1181a This is a point of consensus among the scholars, with no disagreement, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good.
