A. Mīna
B. Makkah
C. Madīnah
D. Muzdalifah ✓
The answer to the question is: D. Muzdalifah
After spending the day at ‘Arafat during the Hajj pilgrimage, the next place for a Muslim to spend the night is Muzdalifah. Muzdalifah is a location between ‘Arafat and Mina, and it is where pilgrims gather pebbles for the ritual of stoning the devil. After sunset, pilgrims leave ‘Arafat and head to Muzdalifah, where they perform the Maghrib (sunset) and ‘Isha (night) prayers combined. They then spend the night in Muzdalifah before proceeding to Mina the next morning.
