Miqat

Miqat the people of Medina, Named Abiar_Ali or Zu_'l-Hulafa

Mīqāt (Arabic: ميقات‎ meaning "a stated place") are the stations at which pilgrims on the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca required of all able Muslims, put on ihrām, the pilgrim's garment. Five of these stations were set up by the Islamic prophet [Muhammad(SM)], a sixth being added later for the convenience of travelers from India and points further east. The stations are as follows:

Dhu'l-Hulayfah, serving pilgrims coming from Medina
Juhfah, for Syria
Qarnu 'l-Manāzil, for those coming from Najd
Yalamlam, for Yemen
Thaneim, for Mecca
Zāt-i-'Irq, for 'Iraq

No one is allowed to pass these places without ihram as [Muhammad(SM)] has stated for whoever that wants to perform hajj. It is a place beyond where from no one can proceed to makkah to perform hajj and umrah without putting on the ehram otherwise he shall have to sacrifice.
