Departing from Muzdalifah late and the sa'y of the one combining Hajj and 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you? This questioner says: I performed Hajj with my wife with the intention of combining (qiran) on the eighth or twelfth day. After performing 'Umrah, we headed to Mina, then to 'Arafah. After leaving 'Arafah, we did not reach Muzdalifah until 11:20 PM. Then we left Muzdalifah after praying Maghrib and 'Isha' at 12:30 AM, and headed to the Haram for the tawaf al-ifadah. Then we returned to the Jamarat al-Aqabah and stoned it after arriving in Mina following the Fajr prayer. Then we headed to Mina. Please note that we were in a group of about forty people from Muzdalifah, all of them families. Have we completed our Hajj up to the Day of Sacrifice, or is there anything remaining for us?

The Shaykh:
There is no harm, if Allah wills, or there is no harm, if Allah wills, because you are among the weak, and a dispensation is granted to the weak for the latter half of the night. Even if they had not come to Muzdalifah until the latter half, there is no harm if they depart from it. You performed 'Umrah and Hajj, meaning you combined them. So if you performed tawaf and sa'y before Hajj, your sa'y is sufficient. You only need to perform tawaf on these days. If you performed tawaf yesterday, otherwise perform tawaf today or after today, tawaf only, and the sa'y you performed earlier is sufficient for you. However, if you performed tawaf and sa'y, shortened your hair, and exited the state of ihram before Hajj was fully completed, then you must also perform the tawaf of sa'y for Hajj. As for your delay and the children, there is nothing wrong with it. If you had been patient and delayed until the end, it would have been better for you, but what has passed is, if Allah wills, completed for all of you. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
No, the older ones, you were tired in the latter half, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
