Departing from 'Arafah before the sun sets

Question:
The departure, O Shaykh, the pilgrim's early departure to Muzdalifah, O Honorable Shaykh, is that sufficient? Yes. When does the pilgrim depart from 'Arafah to Muzdalifah? And if he departs before the sun sets?

Answer:
If he departs before the sun sets, having stood there during the day, he must remain there until the sun sets. If he leaves before the sun sets, he is required to return and remain there until the sun sets. As for if the sun sets and he has not returned, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment) because he left an obligatory act of Hajj, which is remaining in 'Arafah until the sun sets. Yes.
