If you assume ihram after passing the miqat, then return to the miqat while in ihram, the preponderant view according to the Hanbalis and Malikis is that a compensatory sacrifice (dam) becomes obligatory. This is because a necessary rite was omitted, namely assuming ihram from the miqat. This is the well-known position within the madhhab; merely returning does not waive the compensatory sacrifice. However, if you return to the miqat before assuming ihram and then assume ihram from there, nothing is incumbent upon you.
