However, if you had intended to perform Umrah before arriving in Mecca, then it is obligatory to enter into a state of ihram from the designated . The desire for rest after arrival does not preclude entering into ihram; rather, you could have entered into ihram and remained in that state, then performed Umrah once you felt rested.

What is now obligatory is for you to return to Al-Sail Al-Kabeer and enter into ihram from there. It is not permissible to enter into ihram from Mecca. If you do so, you will be sinful and obligated to offer a sacrifice (dam), which you must slaughter and distribute to the poor of the Haram, for having neglected one of the obligatory rites of Umrah.
