He stayed at Namirah thinking that it was Muzdalifah
Question:
A Hajj pilgrim stayed at Namirah thinking that it was Muzdalifah, so what is the ruling on his Hajj?
Answer:
Those who stay at Namirah thinking that it is Muzdalifa, they must offer a ransom(for atonement) because they have been neglectful by not asking. However, their Hajj is correct.
