'''Al-Haramayn''' refers to the two sanctuaries of [[Mecca]] and [[Medina]]. The [[Al-Haram Al-Makki]] encompasses an area of the city of Mecca, and the [[Al-Haram Al- Madani|Al-Haram Al- Madani]] encompasses an area of the city of Medina. They are called "Haramayn" due to their sanctity and respect, as well as the prohibition of certain acts within them. They also share virtues and rulings in Islam; for example, the reward for performing prayer in the two Harams is a thousand times greater than in other places, and cutting trees there is forbidden.

The Meccan and Medinan Harams also differ in certain rulings; for instance, entering the Prophet’s Haram does not require donning the [[Ihram]]. Considering the characteristics of each Haram, there is disagreement regarding which one is superior to the other.
