There are three
types of people in the world
ü Afaqi
ü Hilli
ü Ahl-e-Haram
The earth across
the Bait ul Allah is called Haram. The people who lives near haram under 2-3
miles or 10 to 15 miles in east, west, north and south are called Ahl-e-Haram.
Similarly the person who lives outside of Haram but inside in Meeqaats ( places
around Makkah from where a person cannot move without wearing a Ahram) is
called Hilli. And all the other people of the world who lives outside the
meeqaats are known as Afaqi. Remember that a Hilli person will move inside or
outside from Makkah without Ahram but An Afaqi should wear an Ahram when going
inside or outside to Makkah. Otherwise he has to do DUM (slaughter a sheep or a
goat in the name of ALLAH).
