The Shaykh:
It is one single valley. The valley extends from Wadi Mahram to al-Sayl; the whole thing is one valley, which is the place of entering ihram. If you come with Ta'if, you enter ihram from Wadi Mahram. If you go with al-Sayl, you enter ihram when you reach al-Sayl. It is one valley, yes, it extends, yes.
