Leaving a few minutes before sunset and then returning to the camp
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: My brother was in a hurry, but he went to the Jamarat (the stoning pillars) today before sunset and then returned here, to your camp, five minutes before the sun set. Does he stay or does he leave?
The Shaykh:
If he left for five minutes, he has left, and the sun has set on him. So whoever left stays in Mina until tomorrow evening. If your brother left five minutes before the sun set, even if the road was blocked for him, he owes nothing; he is not required to return. But if he did not leave until after sunset, he is required to return, to spend the night and stay until tomorrow.
The questioner:
Well, that makes it a quarter of an hour.
The Shaykh:
If he left before sunset, he has left. And if he was walking after most of the sun had set, he has left; he is not required to return. Yes.
