The ruling on staying overnight in Muzdalifah for one who did not find a place in Mina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: The camp of the group we are with is in Muzdalifah, and we stay overnight there, then we come to stone the pillars and return to Muzdalifah. Is this correct?

Answer:
If you did not find a place in Mina and you set up camp in Muzdalifah, there is no blame on you for that. Fear Allah as much as you are able. However, if it is possible for you to come at night, or if any of you who is able comes at night and stays overnight in Mina—bringing his own bedding or something light with him and staying in Mina, then returning to his home in Muzdalifah at the end of the night—then it is obligatory for him to do so. But if he is unable to do so due to old age, illness, or inability to walk, then he stays overnight in his place, and the obligation to stay overnight in Mina is dropped from him due to his inability. Yes.
