It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed Dhu’l-Hulaifa as the miqat for the people of Madinah, Juhfa for the people of Sham, Yalamlam for the people of Yemen, and Qarn for the people of Najd, and said:“These places are miqat for the residents of these areas and for those who pass through them with the intention of Hajj and Umrah, and the people of Makkah will assume ihram from where they begin.”
