Standing at 'Arafah at Night and the Components of Staying Overnight at Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The last paragraph says: What about the one who comes to 'Arafah at night and stands there while performing Hajj alone (ifrad),
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. From the rising of the sun on the ninth day until the dawn of the day of 'Id on the tenth day, all of this is the time for standing at 'Arafah. Whenever he comes to it, whether at night or during the day, and he is in the state of ihram and stands there, even if he is merely passing through, that suffices for him regarding the standing at 'Arafah. As for Muzdalifah, the pilgrims stay overnight there when they depart from 'Arafah. They stay there until at least the middle of the night. And whoever comes to it after the middle of the night, he remains there until he prays Fajr there. Yes.
