Night of 9 → 10 Dhul-Hijjah
Muzdalifah
After sunset, depart Arafat for Muzdalifah. Pray Maghrib (3) and Isha (shortened to 2) combined at Isha's time. Sleep until Fajr. Gather small pebbles for the stoning.
What to do
- Combine Maghrib and Isha at Muzdalifah (Maghrib three, Isha shortened to two).
- Spend most of the night there. The weak, elderly, women, and their attendants may leave after midnight.
- Pray Fajr at its earliest time and stand at the Mash'ar al-Haram making dua until just before sunrise.
At al-Mash'ar al-Haram after Fajr
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنَا بِالْهُدَى وَزَيِّنَّا بِالتَّقْوَى وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَالْأُولَى
Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illa-llah. Allahumma ihdina bi-l-huda wa zayyinna bi-t-taqwa wa-ghfir lana fi-l-akhirati wa-l-ula
Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah. O Allah, guide us with right guidance, adorn us with piety, and forgive us in this world and the next.
