Live broadcast | The guests of God depart from Arafat to Muzdalifah

After sunset on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims began their journey to Muzdalifah, marking a solemn religious occasion amidst a comprehensive array of health and safety measures and comprehensive services provided by the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques – may God protect him – to enable pilgrims to perform their rituals in safety and peace of mind.

Upon arriving in Muzdalifah, the Guests of God perform the Maghrib and Isha prayers together, following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. They spend the night there, preparing to head to Mina the next morning to throw the pebbles at the Jamarat al-Aqaba and slaughter the sacrificial offerings.

The exodus from Arafat to Muzdalifah is the third stage of the pilgrims' journey through the holy sites, after completing their standing at Arafat, which is the most important pillar of the Hajj.

The movement of pilgrims was characterized by fluidity and smoothness, thanks to the efforts of various relevant authorities to provide the best services and facilitate their transportation, underpinned by meticulous organization and immediate field monitoring to ensure the safety of the Guests of God at every stage of their rituals.
