Q
What is the significance of performing ablution lightly during a journey in Islam?
A
I rode behind Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from `Arafat and when Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) reached the mountain pass on
the left side which is before Al-Muzdalifa he made his camel kneel and then urinated, and then I
poured water for his ablution. He performed light ablution and then I said to him: (Is it the time for)
the prayer, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” He replied, “The (place of) prayer is ahead of you (i.e. at Al-
Muzdalifa).” So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) rode till he reached Al-Muzdalifa and then he offered the prayer
(there) . Then in the morning (10th Dhul-Hijja) Al-Faql (bin `Abbas) rode behind Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).
Kuraib, (a sub-narrator) said that `Abdullah bin `Abbas narrated from Al-Fadl, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
(p.b.u.h) kept on reciting Talbiya (during the journey) till he reached the Jamra.” (Jamrat-Al-`Aqaba)
