It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed 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 as well as for those who pass through them—who intend to perform Hajj or Umrah. And those who live beyond these places should assume ihram from where they begin their journey, even the people of Makkah should assume ihram from where they begin.”
