Is a ransom (fidyah) or a compensatory sacrifice (dam) incumbent upon someone from Al-Khobar who intended to perform Umrah, then was seconded for work in Jeddah, and then returned to Al-Khobar without performing Umrah? And if he resolves to perform Umrah from Jeddah, is he required to enter into a state of ihram from the miqat of the Eastern Province, or can he enter into ihram from Jeddah?
