Q 2:
Weak pilgrims leave
Muzdalifah
to
Mina
after midnight, before the dawn of the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijjah). Is it permissible for them to throw the pebbles at Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah (the closest pebble-throwing area to Makkah) before dawn? Also, are they allowed to perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj) before dawn
if they have sufficient time for that?
A:
Women, the weak and elderly pilgrims are allowed to leave
Muzdalifah after midnight and throw the pebbles, perform Tawaf-ul-Ifadah and cut their hair before dawn, because this is easier on them.
