		Muzdalifah is a valley where the pilgrims arrive at night, after they had attended at Arafat on the ninth day of the month of Dul Hijjah.
		Spending time in Muzdalifah, or staying the whole night there, is a duty of pilgrimage, which requires, if omitted, compensation in the form of sacrificing a sheep and giving all its meat to the poor in Makkah or the Haram area.
		If one proceeds from Muzdalifah shortly before sunrise on the tenth of Dul Hijjah, which is the Day of the Eid, one begins a busy day with four duties to fulfill.

	The Pilgrimage — 4: Attendance at Arafat and After
		When the pilgrims arrive at Muzdalifah they should pray Maghrib and Isha there as a “delayed combination.” One adhan and two iqamahs are required for both prayers which are offered one after the other, starting with Maghrib in 3 rak’ahs before praying Isha in the shortened form of two rak’ahs.
		The main duty of staying at Muzdalifah is deemed to have been fulfilled if one spends there any part of the second half of the night, but it is strongly recommended that pilgrims stay there until they have prayed Fajr, or dawn prayer.
		Muzdalifah is the place mentioned in the Qur’an as Al-Mash’ar Al-Haraam, which indicates that it is a sacred place where worship and devotion are richly rewarded.
