Mawāqīt, plural of mīqāt, which are places set by the Prophet SAW where pilgrims must enter into the state of iḥrām, should be the points where those who intend to perform Ḥajj or ʿUmrah, whether they are passing through it or who live in its vicinity, whether travelling by land, air or sea, put on their Iḥrām, due to the general command reported in the aḥādīth of the Prophet SAW.

Indeed, Allāh is All-Knowing.
