Miqat Dhul Hulayfah(مِيقَات ذُو الحُلَيْفَة) Dhul Hulayfah is the designated Miqat boundary station for حجاج traveling from مدینہ منورہ to مکہ مکرمہ for حج or عمرہ. Located about 9 km from نبی کریم's Mosque, it is the farthest Miqat from مکہ مکرمہ.
مِيقَات ذُو الحُلَيْفَة
Dhul Hulayfah, known today as Abyar Ali (Wells of Ali), is one of the five Miqat stations designated by نبی کریم Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) as reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. It is the Miqat for anyone traveling from مدینہ منورہ or passing through it on their way to مکہ مکرمہ. Despite being the farthest Miqat from مکہ مکرمہ (approximately 450 km), it is the most commonly used due to the large number of حجاج who visit مدینہ منورہ before or after حج. The modern Abyar Ali complex features a large مسجد, bathing facilities, and changing rooms where حجاج perform Ghusl, don their احرام garments, and make their Niyyah. نبی کریم himself entered احرام from this location during his Farewell Pilgrimage.
