The answer

For someone coming from Egypt to perform Umrah, the Miqat for Ihram is Rabigh, which is the Miqat they pass through. If someone passes the Miqat without entering Ihram while intending to perform Umrah, they must offer a compensatory sacrifice (dam) to be slaughtered in Mecca and distributed among its poor. However, if they did not intend to perform Umrah until after arriving in Mecca, then there is no penalty (no obligation to offer dam) upon them.
