Question:
Before that, if they see a place but it is not guaranteed in Mina, and he finds a place in Mina until midnight, then he attends, finds it, and reads it during the day, then returns it to the next day.
Answer:
So I say, may Allah reward you, to the extent of your ability: if a person obtains a place in Mina, it is obligatory for him to reside in Mina. And whoever does not obtain a place, he should descend to any place connected to Mina and connected to the pilgrims. If he enters at night and stays overnight in Mina and is able to do this, it is obligatory for him. And if he is not able, he stays in his place, and praise be to Allah. His saying, the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16] But the problem is with people who do not come from it and do not try; they look for a place, go to Al-Aziziyah, and take a neat, carpeted, and air-conditioned tent, and they descend in it, air-condition it, and eat and drink. Some of them say they go for hours to chat in Mina at the beginning of the night, then return. This is a question about the pilgrims who manifest themselves to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and reside with the pilgrims. If they obtain a residence in Mina, they reside with the edge of the pilgrims, even from the side of Muzdalifah, or from the directions connected to Mina, from here or there, they bring it closer to Mina as much as possible. This means they do what they are able to do.
As for leaving this and going, hastening, and descending there, and not coming from it except for stoning the pillars, or some of them coming to chat in Mina at the beginning of the night and returning, this is a great shortcoming, and it is feared that he has not fulfilled the obligatory duty. Yes, because he did not search or ask or look for a place until he did not find it. And if he does not find one, he does not go to descend in Al-Aziziyah, meaning he descends at the edge of the pilgrims, sets up a tent, and descends at the edge of the pilgrims. Yes.
