the present time? Or do they enter the state of ihram in Jeddah considering the first time?
A5 : It is known that al-Juhfah is not opposite Jeddah , but rather it is opposite Rabigh approximately. It is obligatory for the people of Egypt and the people of the Maghreb to enter the state of ihram from Rabigh , or from what is opposite it by air if they travel by plane, or from what is opposite it by sea if they travel by sea. It is not permissible for them to delay entering the state of ihram until they enter it from Jeddah . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
