Is it forbidden for one who intends 'Umrah and leaves his children 200 km past Madinah to assume ihram from the miqat parallel to the miqat of Al-Juhfah?

The Miqat for the people of Medina and those passing through it is Dhu al-Hulayfah (Abyar Ali). It is not permissible to pass it without entering into a state of Ihram for anyone intending Hajj or Umrah. If they travel from Medina via the coastal road, their Miqat is Al-Juhfah. Al-Juhfah is now in ruins, so those coming from the coastal road, or from Syria and Egypt, enter into Ihram from Rabigh, which follows Al-Juhfah. One can enter into Ihram from any place in Rabigh or from the mosque now called Miqat Al-Juhfah.
