Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is Jeddah a miqat for one who comes from the western side of the Red Sea?
Answer:
No, Jeddah is a miqat for its residents and those who reside in it. As for one who comes by sea, he enters the state of ihram when he is opposite the nearest miqat to him. If he is opposite it, he enters ihram from the sea, based on the statement of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab: "Look for the point opposite it on your route." Yes.
