Abstract

This research is concerned with studying and verifying the location of the wall or garden attributed to Abdullah bin Aamir bin Kurayz al-Abshami al-Qurashi (9-59 AH), which he built in Arafat, Makkah. The research will be divided into two sections; the first: discusses the biography of Abdullah bin Aamir and his construction works in Makkah, as well as his role in providing water sources in Makkah. The second section: focuses on the wall of Ibn Aamir in Arafat, in terms of determining its location and its relation to defining the boundaries of Arafat in Islamic jurisprudence. The study relied on original sources and field research by visiting the site of the wall and attempting to accurately locate it. The study is unique in its in-depth exploration of the subject and its investigation of the wall's accounts in historical, jurisprudential, and travelers' sources.
