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-Hulayfah as the miqat for the people of Madinah, Juhfah 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—who intend Hajj and Umrah—until the people of Makkah will assume ihram from where they begin.”
