Is Jeddah a miqat for the people of Sudan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: We performed Hajj from Sudan, from Khartoum, and they told us that the miqat for the people of Sudan is Jeddah, so we entered the state of ihram from Jeddah. We were a group. The question is: Is Jeddah a miqat for the people of Sudan, given that we arrived there by air?

Answer:
Jeddah is a miqat for its residents and for anyone who intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah from there. As for one who arrives there, he enters the state of ihram from the miqat he passes by, whether by air, sea, or land, when he is level with it. The people of South Sudan pass by the miqat of the people of Yemen, Yalamlam; they are level with it, even if they are not passing directly over it, but they are level with it. The people of North Sudan pass by the level of al-Juhfah, so they enter the state of ihram from the level of al-Juhfah if they are from North Sudan, or from the level of Yalamlam if they are from South Sudan. The jurists mentioned in the past that the people of Suwaq in Sudan, the people of Suwaq, come level with Jeddah; Suwaq is exactly level with Jeddah and they do not pass by a miqat. So these people, the people of Suwaq specifically, enter the state of ihram from Jeddah. This is what they said previously, and I do not know the accuracy of this statement.
Yes. The important point is that no one passes by the miqat he passes through without being in the state of ihram, if he intends to perform Hajj or 'Umrah. Jeddah is not a miqat except for its residents and for one who intends to perform the rites of worship from there. Yes.
