Muzdalifa is situated within the boundaries of Haram at a distance of 3 miles towards the east from Mina. You are to reach Muzdalifa on the night of the 10th Zilhijja after being free from the Waqof in Arafat. Maghrib and Isha prayers are to be said together in the time of Isha. The name of Allah and Talbia should be continuously repeated throughout the way. On this day, it is not permissible for the Hajj Pilgrims to say their Maghrib prayers in Arafat or on the way to Muzdalifa.
