Chapter: Mawaqit (Places Designated for Commencing) al-’Ihram 10ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ أَوَّلُ الْعَقِيقِ بَرِيدُ الْبَعْثِ وَهُوَ دُونَ الْ٠َسْلَخِ بِسِتَّةِ أَ٠َّا يَلِي الْعِرَاقَ وَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ غَ٠ْرَةَ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ ٠ِيلاً بَرِيدَانِ.

بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ ٠َسْلَخِ فَأَحْرِ٠ْ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ بَرِيدٍ يَسْتَقْبِلُكَ. 10.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The beginning of al-‘Aqiq is Barid al-Ba‘th, and it is six miles before al-Maslakh from the side of Iraq; between this and Ghamrah there is twenty four miles and two Barid.’” “Certain persons of our people have said, ‘When you come out of al-Maslakh, then assume the state of Ihram at the first Barid.’” (Ahadith 3-10 of previous Chapter are best explained by means of fatwa either because they speak of the same issue with only different narrators or that expressing their precise meaning requires expert’s opinion).
