What is the ruling on delaying the Tawaf of Ifadah, and when does its time begin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If a person delays the Tawaf of Ifadah and does not reach Mina until just before dawn on the night of the eleventh, what is required of him? That is, he spent two nights between 'Arafah and Muzdalifah, the last night being the night of the eleventh, which means he spent the entire day of the festival and the night of the eleventh until dawn on the road.

Answer:
There is no harm if he delayed it, because this person is excused, my brother. The Tawaf of Ifadah has no end to its time; one performs it whenever it becomes easy for him. The specification is only for the beginning. The beginning is after midnight on the night of the day of 'Arafah. As for its end, it is whenever it becomes easy for him, even at the end of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, because no specific end was set. Yes.
