He lives in Dhahran and his parents are in Jeddah. Can he enter ihraam for ‘umrah from Jeddah?
Question

                I am from Jeddah but I have moved to Dhahran for work and this is a permanent move. My mother and siblings still live there. My question is: my annual leave is in two weeks’ time and my main aim is to go visit them, but I am thinking of doing ‘umrah. Do I have to go to the miqaat or would I be regarded as being from Jeddah, especially since my main aim in going there is to visit my family?.
Praise be to Allah.So long as you are staying 
    permanently in Dhahran, if you travel to visit your parents in Jeddah and 
    you have decided to do ‘umrah, you have to enter ihram from the miqaat 
    through which you pass.  
But if your stay in Dhahran 
    is temporary, then you have the choice between entering ihram from the 
    miqaat or starting ‘umrah from Jeddah. 
It says in Mataalib Ooli 
    al-Nuha (2/298): If a person has two homes, it is permissible for him to 
    enter ihram from the one that is closer to Makkah, but it is better for him 
    to enter ihram from the one that is further from Makkah.  
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah 
    have mercy on him) was asked in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (17/54): 
I am a student studying in 
    the eastern region and my family are in Jeddah. I want to go for Hajj – from 
    where should I enter ihram, from Qarn al-Manaazil or from my home in 
    Jeddah? 
He replied: 
You have the choice so long 
    as you are one of the people who live in Jeddah closer (to Makkah) than the 
    miqaat. But if you enter ihraam from Qarn al-Manaazil that is better since 
    you are coming from further away, so as to be on the safe side. But if you 
    go to your family and then enter ihram from there, there is nothing wrong 
    with that. End quote. 
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may 
    Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about a married man who lives with his 
    wife and children in Riyadh, and his mother and father are in Jeddah – what 
    is the ruling? 
He replied: If he comes to 
    Jeddah then he is a traveller, so if he wants to go to visit his family, 
    intending also to do ‘umrah, then we say: you must enter ihram from the 
    miqaat, because your home is in Riyadh. As for Jeddah, it is the home of 
    your father and mother. Hence in Ramadaan he may break his fast if he goes 
    and visits the place where his father and mother live, if the place where he 
    lives is in another city. 
End quote from Majmoo’ 
    Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (21/329). 
And Allaah knows best.
