Miqat of Hajj
Shi'a scholars of fiqh regard Wadi 'Aqiq the Miqat [venue] of the people from Iraq and the East. Wadi 'Aqiq includes Maslakh, Ghamra and Dhat 'Irq. Most of scholars consider it permissible to wear Ihram from each of these places. Some of them have considered wearing Ihram from Dhat 'Irq only in case of emergency.
