Muzdalifah (مزدلفة) – Sacred Destination of Hajj
Muzdalifah is one of the three sacred sites of Hajj, located between Arafat and Mina, about 10 km from Masjid al-Haram. After sunset on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, pilgrims travel from Arafat to Muzdalifah, where they perform the combined Maghrib and Isha prayers, spend the night in worship under the open sky, and collect pebbles for the ritual of Ramy al-Jamarat in Mina. Staying overnight (Mabit) in Muzdalifah is one of the obligatory rites of Hajj.
Destination Overview
Muzdalifah is a vast open plain in Makkah's holy sites and forms an essential stage of the Hajj pilgrimage. After completing the Day of Arafat, pilgrims proceed to Muzdalifah immediately after sunset without performing Maghrib prayer until they arrive there. At Muzdalifah, they combine Maghrib and Isha prayers, spend the night in worship and rest, and collect small pebbles to use for the stoning of the Jamarat in Mina on the following days.
The Qur'an refers to Muzdalifah as Al-Mash'ar al-Haram (The Sacred Monument), where pilgrims are instructed to remember Allah after departing from Arafat (Qur'an 2:198). The area represents unity and equality, as millions of Muslims from every nation sleep together under the open sky, regardless of wealth or status. At dawn, pilgrims offer Fajr prayer, engage in remembrance and supplication, and then continue their journey to Mina to complete the remaining rites of Hajj.
