The Miqat of Ihram for the Traveler Passing Through Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is this meeting similar to the previous situation, or do you find the matter?
The Shaykh:
The miqat that he passes through on his way, whether it is Dhu al-Hulayfah, al-Juhfah, or Yalamlum, that is his miqat. His miqat is the one he passes through, even if he is not from its people. As long as he passes through it while intending to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, he is required to enter the state of ihram from that miqat he passed through, because his ruling becomes the ruling of the people of that miqat, just as it is for them and for anyone who passes through them who is not from their people but intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah.
The presenter:
Abu Layla, the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh:
If, for example, a person from Riyadh goes to Madinah and wants to go to the mosque for 'Umrah, he is required to enter ihram from the miqat of the people of Madinah. He does not say, "My miqat is Dhu al-Hulayfah; I want to go to Dhu al-Hulayfah." No, he enters ihram from the miqat of Madinah. If a person from Morocco, or from Egypt, or from the Levant goes to Madinah to visit the Prophet's Mosque, and after he is done, he goes to the mosque of Abu 'Amrah and says, "This is the miqat of al-Juhfah," and he is from the central region, we say: Your miqat now is the miqat of the people of Madinah, because your ruling has become the ruling of the people of Madinah. You enter ihram from the miqat of Madinah. Yes.
The questioner:
And I mean the one who enters Makkah, then stays in Makkah, and then wants to return to Makkah, or does he not drink at all?
The Shaykh:
He returns to the miqat he left, not to the halal area. It is sufficient for him to return to the halal area; he is required to go to the miqat he passed through and enter ihram from it. If he does not return to it, it is permissible for him to enter ihram from where he is.
