Going to Muzdalifah

It is essential to stay at Arafat up to sunset of 9th Dh-Hijja . According to Arabic calendar after sun set of 9th Dh-Hijja the night of 10th Dh-Hijja starts. Most of the hajjis began to move from their tent towards Muzdalifah after ashor salah. They go to boarder of Arafat & stay there until sunset. After sunset the huge mass rush towards pedestrian way & the area become very much crowd y. If you go by walking you have enough time so do not rush to Arafat boarder earlier. Go slow to avoid over crowd. Arafat to Muzdalifah is 5-8 kilometer depending your tent location at Arafat. It is very easy to walk, do not walk very first or very slow. The pedestrian way is very broad. Lot of toilets / wash rooms are available on both side of the road. Take some water & fruit juice with you before start walking. You will be very thirsty during walking but do not drink much water.

It is comparatively difficult to walk maintaining big group of hajjis. So make small group of 2-3 hajjis, not more for easy walking. Take a long stick host one or two small colored flag for your identity with this stick. During walking host it up so that other person of your group can locate you easily. All walking people are on same dress ihram so it is very difficult to identify a person from behind, because all look alike. Many people can not think about it before but when problem occur they feel great tension . So be very careful about this issue. Share your experience for pilgrims.
