From where does the pilgrim who does not pass by the four miqats enter the state of ihram?

The questioner : If the pilgrim’s route does not pass by any of the four miqats, is it permissible for him to enter the state of ihram from his home, for example in Sudan?

The Shaykh : If you mean that he does not pass by a miqat from among the miqats, that is possible. But that he does not pass by a miqat from these miqats in a way that is adjacent to it, that is not possible, is it not so?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Well, then why does he enter the state of ihram from his home?

The questioner : And if his proximity to the miqat is far, for example, in Sudan now, the miqat of al-Juhfah is far from them, and the miqat of Yalamlam is far from them?
The Shaykh: And what does the distance have to do with it? I think you know that the distances vary greatly between one miqat and another!

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Well, why do we look at the distance being far or near?

The questioner : May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
