Accepted Answer

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 10^th, 11^th and 12^th 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.
