How many Meeqat of Hajj for outsider Hujjaj? Answer: 5

There are five Meeqat locations for Hajj, and while some are specifically for those approaching from certain directions, all five are relevant to "outsider" Hujjaj (those not living in or near Makkah or Madinah) as they must enter the state of Ihram before passing them. These locations are: Dhu'l-Hulayfah, Juhfah, Qarn al-Manazil, Yalamlam, and Dhat Irq.
