الجعرانة
Ji'ranah holds special significance because Nabi Muhammad (shallallahu alaihi wa sallam) chose this location to enter ihram for Umrah 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 ihram and proceeded to Mekkah for Umrah, then returned to Madinah. A masjid marks the site where Nabi entered ihram. 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 ihram.
