The Miqat for Those Arriving by Ship and Sea

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s ruling on the tax that reaches a certain point: when must it be performed, given that the trust is the strength of the Miqat?

Answer:
They pass by while in the sea, running parallel to the coast. If they are coming from the north, from north of Jeddah, they run parallel to al-Juhfah and enter the state of ihram when they pass opposite al-Juhfah. If they are coming from the south, they enter the state of ihram when they pass opposite al-Sa’diyyah. So they are between two options: either run parallel to al-Juhfah if they came from the north, or run parallel to al-Sa’diyyah if they came from the south of Jeddah. The jurists mentioned that those who come from Port Sudan, from Port Sudan, do not pass by any Miqat; they arrive in Jeddah before passing opposite any Miqat. These people enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, specifically those from Port Sudan, because Port Sudan is located directly opposite Jeddah. They come by sea, traveling straight until they enter the port. These people enter the state of ihram from the port. Only the people of Port Sudan do this. As for those from the south or the north, they enter the state of ihram at the Miqat they pass opposite, either al-Juhfah or al-Sa’diyyah. Yes, whether by plane, by ship, or by car. Yes.
