The Ruling on Staying Overnight in Mina for One Who Does Not Reside There
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I performed Hajj in a past year, and I did not understand the meaning of staying overnight in Mina until the middle of the night. I was staying in al-Aziziyah because I was ill, so I would go from ten in the evening until twelve after midnight, and then I would leave. I have since performed Hajj a second time in a subsequent year. What is the ruling in this case, given the circumstances I have described?
Answer:
If you come to Mina at the beginning of the night, you must stay at least until the middle of the night. If you come to Mina at the end of the night, you must stay until you pray Fajr. If you have an excuse that prevents you from staying overnight in Mina, it is dropped from you due to that excuse. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
