Whose duty is to wear Irhram from al-Juhfah?

Al-Juhfah is considered as one of five famous meeqats for the "Afaqi people"2 who intend to make Hajj and Umarh. The meeqaat now is used for pilgrims who arrived from Jeddah airport or elsewhere to Saudi Arabia for any reason they do not want to go to Medina. And the people who do not move the conventional way from Medina and would not pass Shajarah mosque can also wear Ihram from al-Juhfa. Now the question is that are all pilgrims –whether be excused or not- due to the approach of meeqaat of Juhfah, can wear ihram from Juhfah meeqat not Shajarah meeqaat? Criterion for crossing Juhfah is patients and inability or every excuse and necessity? In this paper, after a concise history of the region, according to the verdicts of venerated jurists and traditions, the proofs of Juhfah meeqaat for the people of Syria, Egypt, Morocco and anyone who passes this meeqat, will be discussed. Then, with the help of multiple narrations in the issue and exploring the views of Muslim scholars the famous idea will be proven which states that only excused ones and diseased and disables can wear ihram from the meeqaat of Juhfah instead of Shajarah.
