Common mistakes in Hajj - In Mina, Arafah, and Muzdalifah
- Many people do not confirm if where they are located is inside or outside the borders of the holy sites. Confirm.
- Do not reserve a place that is more than your need. Many people are looking for places to sit down and sleep.
- Only in Arafah and Muzdalifah do you shorten and combine prayers. In Mina only shorten your prayers, but pray them at the correct time.
- Do not waste your Hajj time in vain chatting.
- Spending the 8th day in Mina is the Sunnah of Rasul Allah. Many people skip this and go to Arafah.
- Do not push anyone when you are in a crowd.
- You do not have to go to the Mt. Of Mercy in Arafah. Many people hurt themselves and others to be there even though it is not a Wajib thing to do.
- Mt. Rahmah is not a holy mountain. Do not wipe its sand and rocks for barakah.
- You do not have to pray Dhuhr and Asr on Arafah day in the Masjid of Arafah (Masjid Namirah). You may pray in your tent with your group.
- Do not leave Arafah before Maghrib time.
- Women should avoid getting into a crushing crowd, like in Masjid Namirah.
- Do not face Mt.Rahmah on Arafah day when you make Du’a. You should face the Qiblah.
- You should not treat your time in Arafah like any other day. You should realize the significance and pray to Allah in humility.
- At Maghrib time in Arafah, do not pray Maghrib and Isha’ until you reach Muzdalifah, even it you reach there at 11:00 at night. However, if you see half the night approaching, pray where you are on the road.
- Make sure you are in Muzdalifah before you stop and rest. Many people think they are in Muzdalifah but they are not. Look for the border signs. If you have not seen one, chances are you are still not in Muzdalifah even if you see others sleeping on the road.
- After praying Maghrib and Isha in Muzdalifah, go to sleep immediately, this is what Rasul Allah did.
- Through all of this, continue doing your Talbiyah.
