A man stoned the pillars and intended to hasten his departure, but he was occupied with dismantling his tent until the sun set. What is required of him?

Question : Now, another man went and stoned the pillars, then returned to his place after the 'Asr prayer. He resolved to hasten his departure and began dismantling the tent and loading his belongings until the sun set. Do we require him to stay, or is he allowed to continue? You know that the first man loaded his things, mounted his ride, and walked, whereas the second has not yet mounted his ride, but he has dismantled his tent and finished; he considers himself finished. So, do we say now that the sun has set, so you are required to stay, or are you allowed to continue and walk?

Answer : We tell you to continue and walk, due to the generality of the saying of Allah the Exalted: This man intended to hasten and performed an act that is legally valid in hastening, but he was unable to finish before the sun set. Accordingly, it is permissible for him to descend at that time, and there is no blame on him.
