Praying at 'Arafah during the congestion of the departure

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Sometimes, when pushing off from 'Arafah or departing from 'Arafah, he says: Sometimes, when we depart from 'Arafah, the movement is crowded, so we perform the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers at 'Arafah instead of at Muzdalifah, fearing that we will be delayed in performing them. Is our action correct?

Answer:
Yes, if there is congestion and you are unable to pray while on the road, you dismount and pray. If you are delayed past Muzdalifah, you dismount and pray. If you cannot do so, pray before you board at 'Arafah; there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
