The ruling on one who descends to a place other than Muzdalifah due to the driver of the convoy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We were taken out of 'Arafah, and the driver of the pilgrims' bus took us to spend the night in Muzdalifah. We prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' in the bus, and the driver stopped us in a place he assured us was Muzdalifah. We prayed and collected the pebbles, and it was twelve-thirty at night. The driver did not allow us to stay in Muzdalifah. We numbered three hundred men and women. The journey from 'Arafah to Mina took seven hours. Everything that happened was according to the instructions of the tour operator, and this was beyond our control. Please advise us, may Allah reward you?

Answer:
There is no blame on you, for you left in the latter half of the night. Tomorrow is the day of Allah, and tomorrow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) will be seen in the state of weakness, and you are in the pits of weakness, riding in the hands of others. Yes.
