Is the combining of prayers at 'Arafah and Muzdalifah a combining for travel or a combining for worship?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) combine prayers at 'Arafah and Muzdalifah as a combining for travel or as a combining for worship?
The Shaykh : His combining at 'Arafah and Muzdalifah was a combining for travel, not a combining for worship. This is because he (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing the rites of pilgrimage from the moment he entered the state of ihram at Dhu al-Hulayfah, and yet he did not combine prayers when he stopped at al-Abtah, nor did he combine them in Mina.
