Ibn 'Abbas (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) specified for the people of Madinah, DhulHulaifah (a place 540 km to the north of Makkah) as miqat. For those coming from ash-Sham (including Syria, Jordan and Palestine), he specified al-Juhfah (a place 187 km to the north-west of Makkah and close to Rabigh, where they now perform their Ihram). For those coming from Najd, he specified Qran al-Manazil, (a mountain, 94 km to the east of Makkah, overlooking 'Arafah. For those coming from Yemen, he specified Yalamlam (a mountain 54 km to the south of Makkah. These places are for the people (coming from the above specified countries) as well as for others, who pass by them on their way to perform Hajj or ’Umrah. Those living within those boundaries can assume Ihram from where they set out (for the journey), and even the residents of Makkah, their Miqat would be the place where they are staying in Makkah.’ Agreed upon.

A’ishah (RAA) narrated’ ‘The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )specified for those coming from Iraq, Dhat ‘Irq (a place 94 km to the north-east of Makkah) as their Miqat.’ Related by Abu Dawud and An-Nasa’i`. Muslim related a similar narration on the authority of Jabir, but it is most probably Mawquf. Al-Bukhari reported that it was Umar, who specified Dhat 'Irq as the miqat (of those coming from Iraq). Ibn ’Abbas narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) specified al-Aqiq (a part of `Dhat Irq) for those coming from the east.’ Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud and An-Nasa’i.
