Staying overnight in al-Abtah due to the lack of space in Mina

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am in the courtyard of al-Abtah, and we did not find a place in Mina, so we stayed in al-Abtah. We entered the state of ihram from Mina, then returned to al-Abtah, and went up to 'Arafah, then to Muzdalifah. When we returned, I was in the courtyard of al-Abtah, and we did not find a place in Mina, so we stayed in al-Abtah. We entered the state of ihram from Mina, returned to al-Abtah, and went up to 'Arafah, then to Muzdalifah. When we returned, we did not find a place in Mina, so we sat in al-Afshah. Is that permissible for us, knowing that there are women with me?

Answer:
There is no blame on you for that, as long as you did not find a place. If you did not find a place in Mina, there is no blame on you, because this is in al-Abtah or elsewhere.
