Please advise what includes the Haram boundries for Mecca. Is the
entire Mecca provice a Haram?
Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The boundaries of the Makkah Haram are well known and have clear
markers that have been set up in all directions with the name of the
location written on themso that people can see them.
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The boundary of the Haram in the direction of Madinah is before
at-Tan'eem, by the houses of Banu Nifaar, three miles from Makkah. On
the road to Yemen, the boundary is Adaat Libn, seven miles from
Makkah. On the road to at-Taa'if it is at 'Arafaat, at the bottom of
Namirah, seven miles away. On the road to Iraq it is the mountain pass
of al-Muqatta', seven miles away. On theroad to al-Ji'raanah it is in
the mountain pass of Aal 'Abdillah ibn Khaalid,nine miles away. On the
road to Jeddah it is Munqati'al-A'shaash, ten miles from Makkah.
End quote from al-Majmoo', 7/463
It says in al-Mawsoo'ah al-Fiqhiyyah (17/185-186):
The boundary of the Haram in the direction of al-Madinah al-Munawwarah
is at at-Tan'eem, which is three miles away. In the Maaliki books it
says it is four or five miles. Coming from Makkah, at-Tan'eem begins
at Buyoot as-Suqya, which are called Buyoot Nifaar;nowadays it is
known as Masjid 'Aa'ishah (the mosque of 'Aa'ishah). The area between
the Ka'bah and at-Tan'eem isHaram (part of the sanctuary), and at-Tan
'eem is outside the Haram boundary. In the direction of Yemen, it is
seven miles, at Adaat Libn.
In the direction of Jeddah it is ten miles, at Munqata' al-A'shaash,
at the end of al-Hudaybiyah; which is part of the Haram.
In the direction of al-Ji'raanah it is nine miles, in the mountain
pass of 'Abdullah ibn Khaalid.
In the direction of Iraq itis seven miles, at a mountain pass on one
side of Jabal al-Muqatta'.In the books of the Maalikis it says that it
is eight miles.
In the direction of at-Taa'if it is at 'Arafaat, in the bottom of
Namirah, seven miles, at the edge of 'Uranah.
Perhaps the differences in stating the number of miles is because of
differences in defining what is meant by a mile. The measurement by
miles starts from the Black Stone.
The boundaries of the Makkah Haram are currently marked in different
directions withclear markers that have been set up at its edges like
minarets, on which is written in the name ofthe location in Arabic and
other languages. End quote.
A mile is equivalent to 1848 meters.
Whatever is within the markers mentioned is part of the Makkah Haram,
and comes underall the shar'i rulings concerning it, regardlessof
whatever administrative name is given to the place.
Whatever is outside of these markers is not partof the Makkah Haram
and none of the rulings on the Haram apply to it,even if it is called
"Makkah" or the people at some time regard it asbeing one of its
neighbourhoods.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
