Question

The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

What does the Shariah say about entering within the Miqaat boundaries in the months of Haj? Especially if you did not perform your Haj as yet.

Answer

When a person enters into the boundaries of Meeqaat, he has to be in the state of Ihraam. Therefore, he has to come out of the Ihraam by at least performing Umrah.

If he had performed Umrah and has the means to perform Hajj, then Hajj is also compulsory. He can come out of the Meeqaat after performing Umrah and return for Hajj.
