Second: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not specify particular areas for the Miqats, but rather mentioned well-known places (such as Dhul-Hulayfah and Qarn al-Manazil). These Miqats are great valleys, and what matters is the place to which the name of the applies, not the mosque built therein. One can enter into Ihram from any part of the Miqat.
