Hurrying and Delaying on the Days of Tashriq

The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.

The questioner:
In this lesson, we will discuss, O Shaykh, the twelfth day of the Days of Tashriq, and also the Sunnah regarding hurrying and delaying for the pilgrims?

The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad. Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, said: Hurrying takes place on the twelfth day. It takes place on the twelfth day if one throws the pebbles before the sun sets and departs before the sun sets, then it is permissible for him to hurry. The eleventh and twelfth days do not include the day of the festival. It means in two days, that is, after the day of the festival. Some people make a mistake in this. In two days, the meaning of hurrying is what we mentioned: that one throws the three pebbles before the sun sets, then departs before the sun sets, leaving Mina. Then, at that time, it is permissible for him to hurry in two days. And whoever delays until the thirteenth day, staying the night of the thirteenth and remaining in Mina until after the afternoon, then throws the three pebbles, then departs, has delayed. And this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and it is better and more complete. Yes.
