Upon arriving at Muzdalifah after sunset from Arafah, pray Maghrib (3 rakaat) and Isha (2 rakaat, shortened) combined at the time of Isha. Collect 49-70 pebbles for stoning the Jamarat. Rest under the open sky. Pray Fajr at its earliest time. Depart for Mina after Fajr but before sunrise. The elderly, women, and weak may leave after midnight.
Upon arriving at Muzdalifah, immediately pray Maghrib (3 rakaat) and Isha (2 rakaat, shortened) combined at the time of Isha, with one adhan and two iqamah calls. This is agreed upon by all four schools. Do not pray any sunnah shalat between them.
Collect pebbles for stoning the Jamarat. You need: 7 for the 10th, 21 for each of the 11th, 12th (and 13th if staying). Total: 49 pebbles minimum or 70 (if staying until the 13th). Collect extra in case you drop some. Pebbles should be chickpea-sized.
These are the most frequent errors pilgrims make during this stage of Hajj.

After praying and collecting pebbles, rest. There are no tents at Muzdalifah — jamaah haji sleep on the open ground. Lay down a mat or blanket if you have one. Nabi (shallallahu alaihi wa sallam) slept at Muzdalifah until shortly before Fajr.
Pray Fajr at the earliest boleh time. After Fajr, face the Qibla at the Mash'ar al-Haram and make doa and dhikr until the sky brightens before sunrise. This is another blessed time for doa.
Depart Muzdalifah for Mina after Fajr shalat and doa, but before sunrise. Continue reciting the Talbiyah. Head toward the Jamarat area in Mina.
