Staying overnight outside Mina during the days of Tashriq

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is staying overnight outside Mina during the days of Tashriq obligatory among the obligations of Hajj, or is it permissible for the pilgrim to leave it?

The Shaykh:
Staying overnight, what is it?

The questioner:
In Mina. Is staying overnight outside Mina during the days of Tashriq permissible for the pilgrim, or is it obligatory for him to stay overnight in Mina?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for him to stay overnight in Mina. Why outside Mina? He stays overnight in Mina. But if he does not find a place and Mina is crowded, he stays at the edge of the pilgrims, even if it is outside Mina, because of the excuse that befalls him. Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
He does not say, “I did not find a place in Mina,” and then goes to stay overnight in an apartment. No, that is not permissible. He stays at the edge of the pilgrims. Yes.
