The ruling on one who does not reach standing at Muzdalifah until after the dawn prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: In one of the past years, O Shaykh, a group of people stayed on the road to Muzdalifah. When they approached it, they stopped and prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' at one-thirty. Then they entered Muzdalifah at the adhan for Fajr and prayed Fajr there. Is there anything required of them?

Answer:
If they were able to enter Muzdalifah before the dawn prayer but did not enter it, then they missed standing at Muzdalifah. However, if they did not reach Muzdalifah until the dawn prayer, then there is nothing required of them. If they prayed Fajr, they have fulfilled the obligatory requirement upon their arrival. But if they were delayed from it and had time, yet they were lazy and slept before reaching it, and they missed standing at Muzdalifah, then these people have left an obligatory act of Hajj, and a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of them. Yes.
