Masjid e Taneem
Masjid e Taneem is a mosque in the Al-Hil area about 5 miles away from the Holy Kaaba, in Taneem, which is near Mecca, it is boundary of Haram therefoe pilgrims can put on Ihram.Kindly note that it is not Miqat so it is not compulsary to wear Ihram. This mosque is also known as Masjid -e- Ayesha since Muhammad's wife Ayesha had put her Ihram (restriction on Pilgrimage) from this place once.
This was allowed by the prophet as a special case when Ayesha could not complete her umra on account of being in an impure state due to menstrual period. It is also to be noted that Ayesha's brother who accompanied her to Taneem and back did not perform another umra along with his sister, understanding that it was a special allowance made for Ayesha or any woman who happens to becoming impure due to her menstrual period. Now a days both men and women misuse this allowance made by the prophet and do scores of umra during their hajj/ umra visits to Makkah.
This is quite a big mosque with facilities for baths, ablution and changing, available for pilgrims and those who come to offer regular prayers.
