Leaving Muzdalifah at Night and Throwing the Pebbles at the Pillar for the Weak

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on leaving Muzdalifah at one o’clock in the morning and throwing the pebbles at the pillar at two o’clock in the morning, given that he is with leaders who fear the crowds of men?

Answer:
There is no harm; in the second half, there is no harm. The weak have a dispensation, and those with them in the last half, yes. From Muzdalifah, they throw the pebbles and go to Makkah for the circumambulation; there is no harm. As for the strong, it is better for them to remain until they throw after the sun has set. If Abu 'Ata’ were with them, the ruling would be the ruling for the weak. The one with the weak has the ruling of the believer.
