According to the prevalent opinion among Shia jurists, residents of [[Medina]] must enter Ihram at Shajara mosque, and it is not permissible for them to leave the Miqat of Shajara mosque without entering Ihram and go to another Miqat like [[Juhfa]] to enter [[Ihram]] there.<ref>[https://miqat.hajj.ir/article_43464.html Whose duty is Ihram from Jufah?] p. 64-65.</ref>
