INDONESIA'S HAJJ MANAGEMENT DRAWS PRAISE FROM SAUDI ARABIA

Staying overnight at Muzdalifah is one of the obligatory rituals during Hajj. Pilgrims will stay at Muzdalifah after completing the wukuf in Arafah. Muzdalifah is located about 8km from Arafah and approximately 6.9km from Mina. Pilgrims leave Arafah around Maghrib time. They will perform the combined Maghrib-Isha prayer at Muzdalifah. Afterwards, pilgrims will collect stones to be used for the stoning ritual in Mina. The recommended time to stay in Muzdalifah is from after midnight on the 10th of Zulhijjah until dawn. However, even a brief stay in Mudzalifah shortly after midnight on the 10th of Zulhijjah is sufficient. --fotoBERNAMA (2024) COPYRIGHT RESERVED
