English translation
2659. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbâs that the Prophet ﷺ designated Dhul-Hulaifah as the Miqât for the people of Al-Madînah, Al-Juhfah for the people of Ash-Shâm, Yalamlam for the people of Yemen, and Qarn for the people of Najd. They are for them and for those who pass by them who are not of their people, intending to perform Hajj or Umrah. If a person's place of residence is within the boundary of the Miqât, then (he should enter Ihrâm) from where he starts his journey, and this also applies to the people of Makkah. (Sahîh)

Commentary
It is not essential for the one who goes forth for Hajj or Umrah that he must pass through exactly these Mawâqit or entry points only. On the contrary, he may pass through any other place also. But he should enter Ihrâm on passing beyond the Miqât that falls nearest to his entry point.
