Question:
The Shaykh’s question: Who is Abu Qubaylat, Abu al-Abbas, in one stage, or two, or three?
Answer:
There is nothing that places a miqat one stage from Makkah; the minimum is two stages, and the maximum is eight stages, which is for al-Dhahran. As for a miqat one stage from Makkah, there is none in this matter. A day’s journey from Fajr to Dhuhr is this distance of forty kilometers, from Fajr to Dhuhr, forty kilometers for a mount or a camel. As for cars, the cars now, the two stages are eighty kilometers, because each stage is forty kilometers, so the total of the two is eighty kilometers. Yes.
