What are the boundaries of the Haram in Mecca?
The scholars have detailed the boundaries of the of Makkah: from the direction of Madinah, at the houses of Bani Nifar (3 miles); from the Yemen road, at the edge of Adhat Laban (7 miles); from the Ta'if road, at Arafat from the bottom of Namirah (7 miles); from the Iraq road, at the ثنية (mountain pass) of a mountain at Al-Maqta' (7 miles); from the Ja'ranah road, in the valley of Aal Abdullah bin Khalid (9 miles); and from the Jeddah road, at Munqata' al-A'shash (10 miles).
Ibrahim al-Khalil erected markers for the Haram, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded their demarcation. Subsequently, Umar, Uthman, and Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with them) also did so, and these markers remain to this day. Furthermore, when the floodwaters of Al-Hill flow, they do not enter the Haram, and the floodwaters of the Haram flow out to Al-Hill. These markers are currently available, and attention should be paid to them.
