Muzdalifa (means: approaching) is the name of a place near [[Mecca]] where pilgrims must have [[Wuquf at al-Mash'ar|wuquf]] after the night journey from [['Arafat|Arafat]]. The reason for this name is that people enter this area at night. Another name of this place is "Jamʿ"(means: gathering). Because pilgrims gather there. This point is the same [[Mashʿar al-Haram]] mentioned in the Qur'an.

'''Salman al-Farsi Mosque''' is one of the historical mosques in Medina, located south of the [[Fath Mosque (Medina)|Fath Mosque]] and northwest of [[Mount Sela']]. The Prophet (PBUH) prayed at this site during the [[Battle of the Trench]]. The mosque is named after [[Salman al-Farsi]], one of the companions of [[Prophet Muhammad(s)], who suggested digging the trench to defend against the Quraysh army. The mosque features a courtyard and a rectangular prayer hall.


Muzdalifa, with an area of about 9.63 square kilometers, is located between [[Mina]] and [['Arafat]], which is limited to [[Wadi al-Maʾzamayn]] and [[al-Hiyaz]]. Standing in Muzdalifa on [[the 10th night of  Dhu l-Hijja]] is one of the [[obligations of Hajj]].

{{Notes}} 


This area is limited on one side to "[[Maʾzamayn]](مأزَمَین)" valley and on the other side to "wadi al-Muhassir" and "Hiyyad". By passing through Wadi Maʾzamayn, Haji reaches Muzdalifa or the land of [[Mashʿar al-Haram]].<ref>Murwārīd, ''Yanābīʿ al-fighīyya'', vol. 7, p. 198.</ref>
==Rulings==
{{main|Wuquf at al-Mash'ar}}
Waqf (means:standing) in Muzdalifa is obligatory on the [[10th night of Dhu-l Hijja]] and one of basic principles of [[Hajj]] according to all Islamic schools of thought; But there is a difference of opinion in the amount and the time of Wuquf(standing).<ref>Qāḍī ʿAskar, Ḥajj dar andīsha-yi islāmī, p. 288; Fallāḥzāda, ''Darsnāma-yi manāsik-i Ḥajj'', p. 62; ʿAṭṭār, ''Qāmūs al-ḥaj wa al-ʿUmra'', p. 252.</ref>
===Shia's view===
The Shia jurists are mostly of the opinion that the Hajji reached Masha'ar at any hour from the 10th of the night, until dawn with the intention of obeying God and staying there, then from dawn to sunrise with the pure intention of hypocrisy and showing off, he should make a [[Wuquf at al-Mash'ar|wuquf]] and It is recommended to move towards [[Mina]] a little before sunrise, but don't cross [[Wadi Muhassir]] until the sun rises.<ref>Fallāḥzāda, ''Darsnāma-yi manāsik-i Ḥajj'', p. 62.</ref>
===Sunni's view===
Abu Hanifah mentions the time of wuquf from dawn to sunrise, and Malik believes that it is sufficient for a pilgrim to make a wuquf any time during the night of [[Eid al-Adha]] and before dawn. According to Shafi'i, standing at any moment after midnight of Eid al-Adha is sufficient.<ref>ʿAṭṭār, ''Qāmūs al-ḥaj wa al-ʿUmra'', p. 252.</ref>
==boundaries==
The length of Muzdalifa is 3,812 meters from the beginning of Mazamin (gorge between Muzdalifa and [[ʿArafa]]) to the beginning of Wadi Muhassir.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 341.</ref> It is 20,507 cubits from the wall of the [[Bani Shayba Gate]] next to [[Al-Masjid al-Haram|Masjid al-Haram]] to the border of Muzdalifa from the Mina side.<ref>Fāsī, ''Shifāʾ al-gharām'', vol. 1, p. 505, 507.</ref>
The boundaries of Muzdalifa are marked with large signs, and with the words "the beginning of Muzdalifa(Arabic: بداية مزدلفه)" or "the end of Muzdalifa(Arabic: نهاية مزدلفه)", you can know its limits.
