It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed Dhu’l-Hulaifah as the miqat for the people of Madinah, Juhfah for the people of Syria, Qarn al-Manazil for the people of Najd, and Yalamlam for the people of Yemen. Then he said: These are for them and for every other person who comes (for Hajj or Umrah) with the intention of pilgrimage; and whoever is before these (boundaries), then he should assume ihram from where he was born, until even the people of Makkah should assume ihram from Makkah itself.
