The way to Muzdalifah.
A pilgrim may spend the night at Muzdalifah until he performs the fajr (dawn) prayer before proceeding to Mina, depending on his ability. If this is not possible, the obligation to be present at Muzdalifah is met by staying there for the time it takes a pilgrim to deposit his luggage according to the opinion of Maliki scholars or by being present, even for a moment after midnight, according to the opinion of Shafi`i scholars, whichever is easier for him.
All of Muzdalifah is considered the stopping place of Mash'ar al-Haram.
At Muzdalifah, a pilgrim is to make dhikr, du'a`, and istighfar in abundance, and ask Allah for whatever he wishes.
He is to collect seven bean-sized pebbles to stone Jamrat al-'Aqaba on the morning of yawm an-nahr at Mina.
It It is permissible to collect the pebbles from any place other than Muzdalifah and to collect all of them for the three days of stoning. The total number of pebbles is forty nine—seven for stoning Jamarat al-'Aqaba on yawm an-nahr, twenty one for the three stoning sites on the second day of 'Eid, and the same number of pebbles for the third day of 'Eid.

A pilgrim who remains in Mina until the fourth day of 'Eid, is to stone the three stoning sites, each with seven pebbles as he did on the second and third days of stoning.
