Fajr %al\h should be performed as soon as its time begins. Thereafter<br />
one should remain at Muzdalifah st<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> facing the Qiblah<br />
engaged in `Ib\dah.<br />
Just before sunrise (2-3 minutes) leave for Min\ (approximately three<br />
miles) reciting Talbiyah <strong>and</strong> any other Dhikr.<br />
If a woman is of firm opinion that her menstruation is near on the 10th<br />
of Dhul-*ijjah, then she should go direct from Muzdalifah to Makkah<br />
to perform her ^aw\f az-Ziy\rah before Ram|, Na#r <strong>and</strong> Qa]r.<br />
From Muzdalifah to Min\ is a relatively short <strong>and</strong> easy walk. Again one<br />
should make sure that one has enough drinking water. One should<br />
take note that at this time there will be a large amount of traffic. As long<br />
as one can help it, stick to the pavements or pedestrian routes. There<br />
usually is a lot of exhaust fumes that one will have to go through, so if<br />
one is asthmatic one should ensure that they have their inhaler with<br />
them.<br />
IN MIN¬<br />
This is by far the busiest day if one wishes to complete everything on<br />
this day. After returning from Muzdalifah one is likely to be tired, so<br />
one should take a rest before doing anything else.<br />
There are four acts to be performed between the 10th <strong>and</strong> 12th Dhul-<br />
*ijjah.<br />
1. Ram| (this has to be performed on each of the days)<br />
2. Na#r<br />
3. *alq or Qa]r<br />
4. ^aw\f az-Ziy\rah<br />
