Question:
In recent years, due to the congestion during the departure from 'Arafah to Muzdalifah, some groups have been delayed because the buses entered 'Arafah late, so they did not leave 'Arafah until around ten o'clock, and they cannot enter Muzdalifah before midnight due to the congestion. So, is the prayer delayed, even if it is after the time has passed? Or does he pray on the way?
Answer:
We said this: We said, if the night has passed halfway before you reach Muzdalifah, pray on the way; because the last of the preferred time for 'Isha' is until the middle of the night, and what comes after that is for dire necessity, and there is no dire necessity in this case. You can descend and pray. Yes.
