Ji'ranah(الجعرانة) A location northeast of مکہ مکرمہ on the road to Ta'if that serves as a miqat point for those in مکہ مکرمہ wishing to enter احرام for عمرہ. It is the place where نبی کریم performed عمرہ after distributing the war spoils of Hunayn.
الجعرانة
Ji'ranah holds special significance because نبی کریم Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) chose this location to enter احرام for عمرہ 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 احرام and proceeded to مکہ مکرمہ for عمرہ, then returned to مدینہ منورہ. A مسجد marks the site where نبی کریم entered احرام. 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 احرام.
