Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This man says: We are among those who arrived late to stand at 'Arafah, and then found that the people had already proceeded to Muzdalifah.

The Shaykh:
They do not enter the state of ihram.

The questioner:
If one arrives late to stand at 'Arafah and then finds that the people have already proceeded to Muzdalifah and the sun has set, does he have a Hajj?

The Shaykh:
What is its ruling?

The questioner:
If one arrives late to stand at 'Arafah and then finds that the people have already proceeded to Muzdalifah and the sun has set.

The Shaykh:
He has no obligation regarding them. He stands at Muzdalifah. 'Arafah is a time for standing until the dawn breaks entirely. Whenever he comes, he stands at 'Arafah, even if it is just before the dawn breaks. The overnight stay at Muzdalifah is dropped from him. If he is able, he comes to Muzdalifah; if he is not able, standing at 'Arafah is sufficient for him, and the overnight stay is dropped from him.
