The Miqat for Entering Ihram for Those Coming from Yemen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Honorable Shaykh 'Ali, says to me: My relatives and maternal uncles will, if Allah wills, perform Hajj. They will come from Yemen and arrive with the group in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. From where should they enter ihram? Knowing that they want to perform Hajj al-Tamattu'?

Answer:
They should enter ihram from the Miqat of al-Madinah. If they visit the Prophet's Mosque and then travel to Makkah to perform the rites, they should enter ihram from Dhul-Hulayfah, which is the Miqat of the people of al-Madinah. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he designated the Miqats for the various directions,
and those (Mawaqit) are also meant for those who live at these (places) and for those too who come from without towards them for the sake of Hajjقَالَ فَهُنَّ لَهُنَّ وَلِمَنْ أَتَى عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِنَّ مِمَّنْ أَرَادَ الْحَجَّ
Sahih Muslim 1181a
