Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Abu Muhammad says: In last year's Hajj, we could not find a place to stay overnight in Mina after descending from 'Arafah, so we stayed overnight in Muzdalifah. What is the ruling on what we did, and do we owe anything?
Answer:
If you could not find a place in Mina and you descended to Muzdalifah, then if it is possible for you to come on foot and stay overnight in Mina, then return to your lodging in Muzdalifah at the end of the night or during the day, this is obligatory upon you. However, if you are unable to descend to Mina and unable to come to it on foot to stay overnight at night, then you are excused, and praise be to Allah, and you owe nothing. Yes.
