Is it obligatory for the pilgrim to stay in Mina all day or is it enough to spend only the nights there and the days elsewhere, such as in Al-‘Azeeziyyah or, in particular, Muzdalifah?

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Him, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

It is obligatory for the pilgrim to spend most of the night in Mina of the 10th, 11th and 12th of Thul-Hijjah. While he is not required to stay there during the daytime, it is recommended to do so, in compliance with the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

Allaah Knows best.
