The ruling on leaving 'Arafah before sunset

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh. I performed Hajj last year, but I left 'Arafah a quarter of an hour or half an hour before sunset. What is the ruling on that, knowing that I was ignorant of this matter?

Answer:
If you left 'Arafah before sunset and did not return, you have committed a sin. You must slaughter a sheep in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, because you abandoned an obligatory duty of Hajj, which is remaining until sunset. Yes.
