Staying overnight outside Muzdalifah due to the crowd
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the questioner says: Is it permissible to stay overnight outside Muzdalifah because of the severe congestion, even though I cannot be certain that there is no space available, but I feared causing inconvenience to the pilgrims who are lying on the road? And is a sacrificial animal required of me for that?
Answer:
This depends on your situation. If you were with the pilgrims trying to reach Muzdalifah, but you did not reach it because of the congestion and the crowded cars, and you stayed before it, then you are excused. However, if this was due to your negligence, and you did not verify the boundaries of Muzdalifah, and you stayed outside it while being negligent, and you did not ask, then you are at fault, and a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you for the overnight stay in Muzdalifah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
