Spending the night at Muzdalifa on the days of Tashreeq

Question

What is the ruling on spending the night at Muzdalifa on the days of Tashreeq?
 

 

Answer

Spending the night at Muzdalifa on the days of Tashreeq (the three days following 'Eid al-Adha) is not among the rites of hajj nor is it a sunnah. A person who spends the night at Muzdalifa on these days is not blameworthy but has contradicted the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The only thing is that he may miss spending the greater portion of these nights at Mina, which is obligatory according to the majority of scholars and if missed, requires one to slaughter.

And God Almighty knows best.
