Staying overnight in Mina for one who does not find a suitable place
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a pilgrim does not find a suitable place for him in Mina to stay overnight, or if he finds a place but its price is high, is it permissible for him to go outside Mina and stay there?
Answer:
No, my brother. He stays in Mina, even if he is sitting. It is not obligatory for him to have a tent, a water carrier, or anything else. Even if he sits until midnight and then leaves, this counts as staying overnight in Mina. It does not mean that he must have his preparations and his tent. Staying means sitting in Mina, inside Mina, with the pilgrims, until midnight. If he completes the night, that is better. Yes.
