The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it necessary for the sun to set before the pilgrim leaves 'Arafah for Muzdalifah?
The Shaykh:
Is it necessary, what?
The questioner:
Is it necessary for the sun to set?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is necessary for the disk to fall below the horizon and nothing of it to remain, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when the sunset was complete, he (peace and blessings be upon him) departed. Yes. So not at a time when the disk has just begun to set, for the moment it ends, yes, because the sun moves, yes.
