Ihram for one coming from Africa directly opposite Jeddah

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a man in Africa is directly opposite Jeddah, and he crossed the Red Sea directly to Jeddah. What prevents him from entering the state of ihram from Jeddah? Because Rabigh is not on his route, and it is quite far from him?

Answer:
Yes, the jurists mentioned that if one comes from Suakin in Sudan, because Suakan is said to be directly opposite Jeddah, then if he comes from Suakin to Jeddah, he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah, because he did not pass through a miqat. As for one who comes to the right or left of Jeddah, he passes through a miqat. If he comes from the north, he passes through al-Juhfah. If he comes from the south of Jeddah, he passes through the miqat of Yemen, Yalamlam. Sudan extends far; one who comes from the south passes through the miqat of Yalamlam, and one who comes from the north passes through al-Juhfah. As for one who comes directly opposite Jeddah, like Suakan as the jurists mentioned, he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah because he does not pass through a miqat. Yes.
