He came to Jeddah not intending to do ‘umrah, then he decided to do ‘umrah and entered ihraam from Jeddah

Question

Praise be to Allah.

This ihraam is valid, because you formed the intention for it
from Jeddah, and you did not intend to do ‘umrah before that, so you do not
have to offer any sacrifice for that. The basic principle concerning that is
the hadeeth of Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him): The Messenger
of Allaah defined the meeqaat of the people of Madeenah as
Dhu’l-Hulayfah; that of the people of Shaam (Syria) as al-Jahfah; that of
the people of Najd as Qarn al-Manaazil; and that of the people of Yemen as
Yalamlam. And he said: “And these meeqaats are for the people at those very
places, and besides them for those who come thorough those places with the
intention of performing Hajj and ‘Umrah; and whoever is living within these
boundaries can enter ihraam from the place he starts and the same applies to
the people of Makkah who may enter ihraam from there.” (Agreed upon). What
is indicated by the general meaning of this hadeeth is that the one who
wants to enter ihraam for ‘umrah may do so from Makkah is not as it appears
to mean. There is evidence that the one who wants to enter ihraam for ‘umrah
when he is in Makkah should enter ihraam from outside the sanctuary. It was
narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) camped in
al-Muhassab, then he called ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Abi Bakr and said: “Take
your sister out of the sanctuary and let her enter ihraam for ‘umrah and
circumambulate the House, and I will wait for you here.” She said: So we
went out, and I entered ihraam then I circumambulated the Ka’bah and did
saa’i between al-Safa and al-Marwah, then we came to the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in his camp in the middle
of the night. He said: “Have you finished?’ I said: Yes. So he told his
companions to move on, and went out and came to the Ka’bah and
circumambulated it before Fajr prayer, then he set out for Madeenah. Agreed
upon.

And Allaah is the Source of strength. May Allaah send
blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
