Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a pilgrim cannot find a place for himself in Mina except in the people's pathways, and he is unable to pay the amount to the tour group, and he has only enough expenses to cover his needs, is it obligatory for him to stay in Mina and spend the nights of Tashriq there? Or does he have a dispensation?
Answer:
In the people's pathways? No, he does not stay in the people's pathways, because this is a harm to him and to the people, and there is danger to him. If it is facilitated for him to stay, he sits in a place that is not a pathway; it is obligatory for him to do so. Otherwise, he sits with the last of the pilgrims, or if he leaves Mina, that is what he is able to do. Yes.
