Staying overnight in Mina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 21610 )
Q: On the first night of staying in Mina , we remained there from 9:00 PM until 2:30 AM. On the second day, we stayed in Mina from 5:45 PM until 12:15 AM. Is the stay valid in this manner? I should mention that my wife and I hurried to walk from Mina on those two nights because we had left our young children alone at the residence of a relative in the Aziziyah district, where they were home by themselves and we were worried about them. Do we have any obligation? If we do, does my wife have the same obligation as I do? And how is this to be done, in Makkah or at our home in the south? I should mention that we returned
to our workplace in the south of the country. Please inform us, may Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims. .
A : If you remained in Mina for most of the night, then the sufficient stay has been achieved, and what you did accomplished the objective, and praise be to Allah. However, staying in Mina for the entire night is better and more complete, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
