Night at Muzdalifah

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة

بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِٱلرَّحِيمِ

To stay at Muzdalifah from dawn till sunrise is obligatory.  If a pilgrim stopped there for a period, then left before dawn, his Hajj is valid.  If a person does not hold wuquf (act of being present, even for a moment) between dawn and sunrise at all, his Hajj is invalid.

Women, children, the fearful, the weak, the aged, the sick, and those caring for them are exempt. It is permissible for them to spend even a brief moment satisfies the core obligation. The wuquf at Muzdalifah must be with the intention of attaining nearness to Allah alone, as is the case for wuquf at Arafat.
