مَبِيت
Mabit is a Wajib act of Hac that applies at two locations. First, at Muzdelife on the night of the 10th of Dhul Hijjah: after departing Arafat at sunset, hacilar travel to Muzdelife where they combine and shorten Maghrib and Isha namazs, collect pebbles for stoning, and spend the night under the open sky. The minimum requirement according to most scholars is being present during the second half of the night or at least at dawn. Concessions are granted to the elderly, sick, and women with children to leave after midnight. Second, at Mina during the nights of Tashreeq (11th, 12th, and 13th): hacilar must spend the majority of each night in Mina. The Hanafi school considers the Mabit at Mina as Sunnah rather than Wajib, while the other three schools consider it Wajib. Those with valid excuses (such as water carriers or shepherds caring for hacilar' needs) were exempted by Hz. Peygamber. Missing Mabit without a valid excuse requires the haci to offer Dam (sacrifice) as a penalty.
