Summary
Dhul Hulaifah is the miqat that the Prophet SAW set for the people of Madinah, and its mosque is also known as Bir Ali or Abyar Ali. The fatwa rejects the view that the name Abyar Ali derives from a Sultan of Darfur named Ali bin Dinar, since the name already appears in earlier books. Both names have existed for a long time, and other names for the place include al-Shajarah and al-Baida'.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, kami nyatakan bahawa, nama Bir Ali atau Abyar Ali sudah wujud sekian lama. Begitu juga nama Zulhulaifah berdasarkan nas hadis yang kami nyatakan tadi.
