Muzdalifa (means: approaching) is the name of a place near Mecca where pilgrims must have wuquf after the night journey from 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.

Muzdalifa, with an area of about 63.9 square kilometers, is located between Mina and ʿArafat, 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.
