Staying overnight in Mina for one hour on the days of Tashriq

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I performed Hajj and stayed in Mina for one hour on every night of Mina. Does this count as staying overnight?

Answer:
No, one hour is not sufficient. It is obligatory to stay for at least half the night. This is the minimum: you must stay for half the night. One hour is not enough. Therefore, you owe a fidyah (ransom payment) for all of them, for all the nights. You slaughter a fidyah in Makkah and distribute it to the poor of the Haram. This is if you left off staying overnight without an excuse. But if you had an excuse and were unable to stay overnight, it is dropped from you. Yes.
