Departure from Muzdalifah after midnight for those with valid excuses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 20748 )
Q1: I performed the obligatory Hajj with my family last year, 1418 AH, and it was my first obligatory Hajj. Several things happened to us during it, and I do not know if they were correct or not: We left 'Arafah after standing there at ten o'clock at night, and we entered Muzdalifah at twelve o'clock at night. Then, at my father's order, we left it at two-thirty in the morning for the house we had rented in Makkah , because my mother was suffering from a migraine attack, while the rest of the family were fine. Do we have any obligation regarding our departure from Muzdalifah before Fajr?
A1 : It is permissible to depart from Muzdalifah after midnight for those with valid excuses, such as the sick, the elderly, and children, in order to relieve hardship. It is also permissible for those who need to accompany them to depart with them. As for the healthy, it is better for them to remain in Muzdalifah until after the Fajr prayer. And there is no obligation on you regarding
your going to Makkah .
