The Delay of Pilgrims in Arriving at Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks about what happened during last year’s Hajj, where some pilgrims were delayed when they left 'Arafah for Muzdalifah and did not arrive until after midnight, while some arrived just before Fajr. Does anything fall upon them?
Answer:
Nothing falls upon them, because they did not leave off staying the night at Muzdalifah by their own choice, but rather the road and the traffic prevented them, so they were delayed because of that. They are excused. The portion of the night they catch at Muzdalifah is sufficient, if they arrive at the end of the night and pray Fajr at Muzdalifah, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
