Is Jeddah considered one of the boundaries of 'Arafah or a miqat for all pilgrims?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Some people say Jeddah is a station. Is this correct? Some people say that Jeddah is included in 'Arafah.

Answer:
No one has said that. But perhaps I meant that Jeddah is a miqat. It is not a miqat except for its residents, and for those who intend to perform Hajj and 'Umrah from there. As for one who is outside the miqat, he enters ihram from the miqat and does not pass it. So Jeddah is not a miqat except for its residents, or for one who intends Hajj or 'Umrah from there. Yes. As for it being from 'Arafah, no one has said that, not the sane nor the insane.
