Miqat Dhul Hulayfah(مِيقَات ذُو الحُلَيْفَة) Dhul Hulayfah is the designated Miqat boundary station for الحجاج traveling from المدينة to مكة for الحج or العمرة. Located about 9 km from النبي's المسجد, it is the farthest Miqat from مكة.
مِيقَات ذُو الحُلَيْفَة
Dhul Hulayfah, known today as Abyar Ali (Wells of Ali), is one of the five Miqat stations designated by النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) as reported in صحيح البخاري and صحيح مسلم. It is the Miqat for anyone traveling from المدينة or passing through it on their way to مكة. Despite being the farthest Miqat from مكة (approximately 450 km), it is the most commonly used due to the large number of الحجاج who visit المدينة before or after الحج. The modern Abyar Ali complex features a large مسجد, bathing facilities, and changing rooms where الحجاج perform الغسل, don their الإحرام garments, and make their Niyyah. النبي himself entered الإحرام from this location during his Farewell Pilgrimage.
