The condition under which Jeddah becomes a miqat for Hajj and 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence, when does Jeddah become a miqat?
Answer: Jeddah is a miqat for its residents, and it is a miqat for anyone who arrives there without the intention of 'Umrah or Hajj, and then the occasion arises for him in Jeddah to enter the state of ihram from there. If someone comes to Jeddah from America, Europe, Africa, or any other place without an intention, and he comes to Jeddah for trade or other reasons, and then after arriving he initiates 'Umrah—whether he wants to perform 'Umrah or wants to perform Hajj during the time of Hajj—he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah, and he owes nothing.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Is there a third category?
The Shaykh: If a person does not pass by a miqat until he reaches Jeddah, coming from a country where neither his land route nor his air or sea route passes by a miqat other than Jeddah, and he does not pass by any miqat until he reaches Jeddah, then he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah if he finds it. It is said that some people leaving Sudan, if they come directly from the west, do not have a miqat other than Jeddah; they do not pass by anything other than Jeddah, from Port Sudan, as some scholars of Sudan say. So if a person travels from a port in Sudan or elsewhere and does not pass by a miqat other than Jeddah, and does not pass by the miqat until he reaches Jeddah, his entering the state of ihram is from Jeddah. Yes.
