Sleeping or Dhikr During the Night Stay at Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: Regarding the night stay at Muzdalifah, is it better for the Muslim to lie down and sleep, or is it better for him to sit and remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?
Answer:
It is better to sleep, because sleep rests him for performing the upcoming rites. So, sleeping is better than sitting. Sitting is permissible, but sleeping is better, and that is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did.
