Using Taneem Mosque (Masjid Aisha) as Miqat for Umrah Masjid Aisha at Taneem is the nearest point outside the Haram boundary where those already in Makkah can enter Ihram for a new Umrah — it is about 7 km from the Haram with full facilities.
Masjid Aisha, located in the area of Taneem approximately 7 km northwest of Masjid al-Haram, is the nearest Miqat point outside the Haram boundary (Hil). It is named after Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who was instructed by the Prophet (peace be upon him) through her brother Abdur-Rahman to go to Taneem to enter Ihram for her Umrah during the Farewell Hajj.
You need to go to Taneem if you are already inside Makkah (within the Haram boundary) and wish to perform a new Umrah. Since Ihram for Umrah must be entered from outside the Haram boundary, you cannot simply make the intention from your hotel in Makkah. Taneem/Masjid Aisha is the closest and most convenient exit point for this purpose. Other options include going to Ja'ranah or Hudaybiyah, but Taneem is by far the most popular due to proximity.
The mosque has modern facilities including: ablution areas, prayer spaces, separate sections for men and women to change into Ihram garments, and shops selling Ihram cloths and supplies. Taxis from the Haram area to Masjid Aisha are readily available — the trip takes about 15-20 minutes. Many Hajj/Umrah operators arrange group transport to Taneem for those wishing to perform a second Umrah. Upon arriving at Taneem, perform ghusl if possible, change into Ihram, make your niyyah for Umrah, begin the Talbiyah, and return to the Haram for Tawaf and Sa'i.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) told Abdur-Rahman: 'Take your sister out of the Haram and have her begin Umrah from Taneem.'
