| Etymology | Dhat Irq (ذات عرق) literally means 'the place with the vein/ridge.' The word Irq (عرق) can mean 'vein,' 'root,' or 'ridge,' likely referring to a geological feature — a small mountain ridge or a dried riverbed vein that marked the location. |
Miqat Dhat Irq(مِيقَات ذَات عِرْق) Dhat Irq is the designated Miqat for الحجاج traveling from Iraq, Iran, and northeastern regions toward مكة. Located about 94 kilometers northeast of مكة, it was أُسس during the caliphate of Umar ibn al-Khattab.
مِيقَات ذَات عِرْق
Dhat Irq is the fifth Miqat station, serving الحجاج from Iraq, Iran, and Central Asia. While the other four Miqat stations were explicitly designated by النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم), Dhat Irq was أُسس by Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عن him) when the people of Iraq accepted Islam and needed a Miqat. Some hadith narrations in Sunan Abu Dawud and others suggest النبي also mentioned this Miqat, though scholars differ on the authenticity. The location takes its name from a small mountain called Irq in the area. Historically, it was a crucial point on the caravan route from Basra and Kufa. With modern transportation, many Iraqi and Iranian الحجاج now fly to Jeddah and enter الإحرام before crossing the Miqat line or at designated points.
