When and how should I depart for Muzdalifah?

After sunset, depart from Arafat for Muzdalifah without performing the Maghrib prayer there. Even if you arrive late, the Maghrib and Isha prayers must be performed in Muzdalifah. Do not consider this delay as making up missed prayers. This is the rule for that day. On the way there, you may travel in the muallim’s vehicle, or several people may appoint one person as the group leader and proceed together under his leadership towards Muzdalifah. To avoid getting lost on the way and to ensure that no one becomes separated from the group, the group leader may carry a Bangladeshi flag on his shoulder. It is crowded there as well. Be careful not to get lost in the crowd. If women and children are with you, be even more cautious. Because of the crowd, it is often difficult to find a good vacant place to sleep. The toilets are also extremely crowded. Choose a place to sleep carefully.
