Ihram for those coming from Sudan by sea to Jeddah

Question:
May Allah reward him. This questioner says that some people from Sudan come to Jeddah without entering the state of ihram; they enter ihram from Jeddah and say that they do not pass by a miqat before arriving in Jeddah by sea.

Answer:
They pass by al-Juhfah if they come from the north; they pass by al-Juhfah if they come from northern Sudan, and they pass by Yalamlam if they come from southern Sudan. They are at sea when they pass by the miqat, so they enter ihram from the point where they pass by the miqat. However, the jurists mentioned that one who comes from Sudan passing by Jeddah, passing by Jeddah, without passing by any of the miqats, like the one who comes from Suakin—they say Suakin—one who comes from Suakin to Jeddah does not pass by a miqat, so he enters ihram from Jeddah. As for the other parts of Sudan, it is not the case that one does not pass by a miqat; either he passes by al-Juhfah or he passes by Yalamlam. May Allah reward you.
