A number of ladies do a lot of unnecessary
socializing in Mina/Arafat/Muzdalifah as everyone is in a confined
space, unlike in Makkah and Madinah where everyone is dispersed in
the various hotels. Rather spend your time in Salaat/Tilaawat/Zikr
etc.
Because of a strange environment and the
associated tension, menses may come on earlier than expected or come
on too frequently or may be prolonged or heavy. Thus one should be
well prepared by taking adequate toiletry items especially for
Mina/Arafat/Muzdalifah.
One should go to pelt the Shaitaan well after Esha as
this time appears to be quieter than the other times.
