The questioner : In his saying, "And Jamarat is all a standing place," does "Jamarat" refer to the place of Muzdalifah?
The Shaykh : It refers to Muzdalifah, and it was named "Jamarat" because people gather there, as people gather there in both the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and in Islam. In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, the Quraysh did not stand at 'Arafah; rather, on the day of standing at 'Arafah, they would stand at Muzdalifah. This was because they said, "We are the people of the sacred precinct, so we do not leave it; we only stand at Muzdalifah." For this reason, and Allah knows best, it was named "Jamarat" because people gather there in both the pre-Islamic age of ignorance and in Islam.
The questioner : Well done.
