Returning to Mina after departing on the twelfth day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, if we return on the twelfth day, bid farewell, and stay overnight in Makkah, are we required to return on the thirteenth day?
Answer:
Yes. Whoever leaves Mina for Makkah before the sun sets on the twelfth day, the day of actions in this year, is not required to return, even if he stays in Makkah for days. However, if you intend to travel, you must bid farewell. Departing means departing from Mina and from Makkah. Whoever hastens on two days from Mina, if he hastens from Mina itself before the sun sets on the twelfth day, that is sufficient. If he leaves Mina intending not to return to it, not staying in Makkah to perform tawaf, for example, or for his needs, then the matter is concluded; he is not required to return. Yes.
