The Driver’s Misdirection and Missing the Night Stay at Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We did not stay in Muzdalifah. The reason for that was that the driver lost the road. When we reached al-Ma’asir, we asked him to return to Muzdalifah. He said there was no way. Yes. He said there was no way. He said he could not find a road to take us back to Muzdalifah. We were forced to do so. We did not stay the night in Muzdalifah. Why? The driver lost the road with us; the driver of the car lost the road with us and took us to al-Ma’asir. When we asked him to return to Muzdalifah, he took us to our lodging in Mina and left us, and we walked.
The Shaykh:
There is no blame on you, if Allah wills, because you were compelled. There is no blame, if Allah wills.
Another questioner:
Meaning, nothing is required of us.
The Shaykh:
Nothing is required of him.
