About Miqat of Tan'im (Masjid Sayyidah A'ishah)

At the end of the Farewell Hajj, Sayyidah A'ishah, who had not been able to perform a separate Umrah, asked Nabi Muhammad ﷺ to let her do so. He sent her with her brother Abd al-Rahman to al-Tan'im, the nearest point outside the sacred boundary of Makkah, where she entered ihram for her Umrah. The mosque built here is named after her. Masjid A'ishah lies about seven kilometres north of Masjid al-Haram and is where people already in Makkah most often go to enter ihram for an additional Umrah. It has large facilities for washing and changing, and buses and taxis run regularly from the Haram area.
