Question: what is miqat al ihram?
Answer: A mīqāt (Arabic: مِيْقَات‎, lit. 'a stated place'; plural mawāqīt (مَوَاقِيْت)) is the principal boundary point of an area, within which Muslim pilgrims on the Ḥajj must be in the state of Iḥrām (a state of consecration in which certain worldly activities are prohibited).
