Ji'ranah(الجعرانة) A location northeast of مكة on the road to Ta'if that serves as a الميقات point for those in مكة wishing to enter الإحرام for العمرة. It is the place where النبي performed العمرة after distributing the war spoils of Hunayn.
الجعرانة
Ji'ranah holds special أهمية because النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) chose this location to enter الإحرام for العمرة after the Battle of Hunayn and the Siege of Ta'if in 8 AH. After distributing the spoils of war at Ji'ranah, he entered الإحرام and proceeded to مكة for العمرة, then returned to المدينة. A مسجد marks the site where النبي entered الإحرام. While Tan'im is closer and more commonly used today, Ji'ranah is considered more virtuous by some scholars because of its direct Prophetic connection. It is located outside the Haram boundary, making it a valid point to enter الإحرام.
