Praise
be to Allah
Yes, that is
permissible. The basic principle is that if a person who wants to do Hajj or
‘umrah has passed the miqaat and did not enter ihram from there, then he
went ahead and entered ihram from the place where he is that is closer than
the miqaat, he must offer a compensatory sacrifice, but if he goes back to
the miqaat and enters ihraam from there, he does not have to do anything
else.
Based on that,
if we assume that he got on the plane in al-Qasim airport, intending to do
‘umrah, then he landed in Jeddah before entering ihraam, we say to him:
Either go back to as-Sayl al-Kabeer and enter ihram from there, or if you
enter ihram from Jeddah, you must offer a compensatory sacrifice. End quote.
