Ruling on departing for Muzdalifah at one o'clock after midnight
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for one who departs from Muzdalifah at one o'clock after midnight, due to his commitment to work in Mina or the like?
Answer:
There is no blame on departing from Muzdalifah after midnight, and whoever remains there until the night is complete, that is more perfect and better. If one departs after midnight, there is no blame, if Allah wills. The weak are permitted to depart at the end of the night; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to them, namely the women, the elderly, and the children, to depart in the last half of the night. Likewise, one who has work or commitments, such as doctors and others, there is no objection to departing in the last half of the night.
