The questioner:
Shaykh Salih, in your view of the map of the Islamic world, who among the Muslims is permitted to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah? It is not permissible for anyone coming from distant lands to enter the state of ihram from Jeddah; rather, they must enter it from the miqat (boundaries) they pass through, whether they come from the East, the West, the North, or the South, because they will pass through these miqat, either by land, by air, or by sea, whether they are in a state of ihram or not. However, the jurists mentioned that...
The Shaykh:
...that whoever comes from Suwakin, which is somewhat in the direction of... whoever comes from Suwakin enters the state of ihram from Jeddah, because Suwakin is adjacent to Jeddah, and the one coming from it travels on a straight line that does not pass through a miqat, so the first place he reaches is Jeddah, and he enters the state of ihram from there. This is what...
The questioner:
...our brother from Sudan likely intends, referring to those who say that Suwakin or Port Sudan is considered one region, as far as I know. Shaykh, perhaps our brother intends those people. As for the people of Sudan in general, it is not permissible for them to pass the miqat, as you have mentioned.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the condition mentioned by the jurists applies to him, specifically from Suwakin to Jeddah, meaning on a straight line, then he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah because it is the first place he reaches, and Jeddah becomes the first place he reaches before the miqat in his case, or he enters the state of ihram from there.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you, may Allah bless you, and may Allah reward you with the best reward.
