LessonsBook of Hajj: Prayers, Standing at Muzdalifah, and Departure to MinaQuiz

Suppose a pilgrim cannot find a place near Quzah but spends the night and performs the dawn standing elsewhere inside Muzdalifah’s valid bounds. Distance from Quzah alone does not invalidate the rite.

Conversely, merely being near a place named after Quzah would not make an out-of-boundary location valid. A preferred spot and a legal boundary are different questions.
