Staying overnight in the valley of Mahr as a substitute for Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you, he asks and says: If someone stays or spends the night in the valley of Mahr due to the narrowness of the place, does that count as having spent the night in Muzdalifah?
Answer:
No, the valley of Mahr is part of Mina, and it is said to be the boundary between Mina and Muzdalifah, so one does not spend the night there, and it is not permissible to hasten through it. If he is walking, how can he spend the night there, sit there, and rest there? It is not a place for resting.
