Staying overnight outside Muzdalifah on the assumption that it is Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This pilgrim says: I am a pilgrim who uses a wheelchair, and I was with companions. When we left 'Arafah, I was performing Hajj ifrad and I was with my companions. When we left 'Arafah, we reached the first boundary of the Haram. Due to exhaustion, we sat down inside the Haram, assuming that the location was Muzdalifah. We prayed Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr. After the Fajr prayer, we set out on the march toward Mina, and we were surprised to find that we had not been in Muzdalifah. However, we did not leave that area until the sun rose. Is there anything required of us in this matter? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
Since you were outside of it, you must offer a sacrifice, because you were negligent and did not make an effort to ask. You must offer a sacrifice for leaving Muzdalifah. Yes.
