AlHijjah 9, 1433, Oct 25, 2012, SPA -- Nearly four million pilgrims availed themselves of the giant transport Hajj system, including the newly-introduced Al-Mashaer train and busses, to smoothly come down the valley of Arafat where they successfully performed the peak of Hajj ritual to their next leg of Muzdalifah where they are set to pray Maghrib (sunset) and Isha (evening) jointly, pick pebbles to throw the replicas of devil in Mina and perform Al-Fajr (dawn) prayer before going to Mina. Women, children and the elderly could be exempted from staying in the station of Muzdalifah. They could just pass to Mina for a camping of two to three days called Al-Tashreeq Days. The move to Muzdalifah is pilgrims' third leg in the U-turn tour of Makkah-Mina-Arafat-Muzdalifah-Mina-Makkah. It was indeed a success to the Islamic civilization, SPA reporters noted.
