Staying overnight at Muzdalifah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We move on to Muzdalifah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' there, combining them by delaying. So, if people arrive at Muzdalifah before the time of 'Isha' enters, do they pray them combined, or do we say: pray Maghrib in its time and 'Isha' when its time enters? Some scholars said the second: if you arrive at Muzdalifah before the time of 'Isha' enters, pray Maghrib. Then, when the time of 'Isha' enters, pray 'Isha' with an adhan and iqamah, and Maghrib with an adhan and iqamah. But I say: in the present time, there is no doubt that the easier thing for the pilgrims is to combine Maghrib and 'Isha' from the moment they arrive. If that is the case, then the best is to do the easier thing, so let them pray Maghrib and 'Isha' from the moment they arrive, even before the time of 'Isha' enters, because—as you know—it tires a person to obtain water. And perhaps if he is far from the place of his brothers, he may be lost. So let him pray Maghrib and 'Isha' combined by advancing, and that is better, because he is a traveler. And for the traveler, the best is to do the easier of combining or not combining.
It is known that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood until he prayed Fajr, and he stood at al-Mash'ar al-Haram until it was very light. Is this obligatory, or is it permissible for a person to depart in the last part of the night?
Answer: This is not obligatory, but it is better, especially in the case of severe crowding. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted women and the weak to depart from Muzdalifah before Fajr, and to throw the pebbles when they arrive, and to pray Fajr in Mina. Now, if a person stays until Fajr and prays Fajr and remains for supplication, do we say: go to al-Mash'ar al-Haram, or is it permissible to supplicate to Allah in your place?
Answer: It is permissible to supplicate to Allah in your place, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family):Sahih Muslim 1218c.
