Ji'ranah(الجعرانة) A location northeast of Mekke on the road to Ta'if that serves as a miqat point for those in Mekke wishing to enter ihram for Umre. It is the place where Hz. Peygamber performed Umre after distributing the war spoils of Hunayn.
الجعرانة
Ji'ranah holds special significance because Hz. Peygamber Muhammad (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) chose this location to enter ihram for Umre 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 Mekke for Umre, then returned to Medine. A cami marks the site where Hz. Peygamber 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.
