What is the miqat for one who comes from the west of Jeddah by ship or airplane?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Mm.
The presenter : And may Allah record that in your good deeds.
The Shaykh : Amen.
The questioner : A questioner says: No hadith has been reported regarding the prohibition of the miqats of Hajj for one who comes from the west. For example, if one who intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah comes from the west of the city of Jeddah by airplane or ship, from where should he enter the state of ihram? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : Yes. In fact, we say that this has been reported. When the people of Iraq came to 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to have the miqats defined for them, because al-Qarn al-Manazil is far from their route, he said: Look for the point on your route that is opposite to it. "Opposite to it" means aligned with it. Accordingly, if one comes from the west of Makkah, we tell him: if you come from the north, you will be aligned with al-Juhfah, and if you come from the south, you will be aligned with Yalamlam. So if you are aligned with al-Juhfah, enter the state of ihram, and if you are aligned with Yalamlam, enter the state of ihram. However, if you come directly from the west, you will not be aligned with either al-Juhfah or Yalamlam, so enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. For example, the people of Sudan and those who are aligned with them, if they come directly to Jeddah without being aligned with Yalamlam or al-Juhfah, they enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. This is what the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said, and it is clear.
