Staying overnight at Muzdalifah and the duration of standing there
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If a person arrives at Muzdalifah at the end of the night, is he required to stay until the dawn breaks? And what is the required duration for staying overnight on the night of Muzdalifah?
Answer:
Standing or staying overnight — staying overnight is not the same as standing. Staying overnight at Muzdalifah is of two types: a type that suffices and a type that is better and more complete. The type that suffices is until the middle of the night. Once the middle of the night has passed, it is permissible for the pilgrim to depart from Muzdalifah to Mina, especially if he is among the weak.
Such as women, the elderly, the sick, and children. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them a dispensation. As for the strong, it is better for them to adopt the most complete form of staying overnight, the full stay, which is to pray Fajr there and devote themselves to supplication after the prayer until they are very drowsy, and then proceed to Mina. This is the most complete stay that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed, and he granted a dispensation for the first type. This is what he (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and he granted a dispensation for the first type. Yes. Yes.
