The ruling on leaving Muzdalifah before midnight
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A question from Hamd ibn Rashid: A man left Muzdalifah with his family for Mina at eleven o'clock at night, then he and the women in his family stoned the Jamrat al-Aqabah after the moon had set. Yes. The question from Hamd ibn Rashid: A man left Muzdalifah with his family for Mina at eleven o'clock at night, then he and the women in his family stoned the Jamrat al-Aqabah after the moon had set,
Answer:
This is a mistake, because leaving after the moon has set is a mistake. If he had left before that, it would have been fine. As for the stoning, it is permissible; the stoning is permissible, and there is no harm. The mistake was in his departure, because he did not stay for the last part of the night, nor did he remain until the middle of the night. If he pays a fidyah (ransom payment) for this departure, that is the safer course, if Allah wills. Yes.
