Staying overnight in Makkah for those who are unable to stay overnight in Mina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If it is not possible for a pilgrim to stay overnight in Mina, is it permissible for him to stay overnight in Makkah?
Answer:
He should stay with the pilgrims, just as a person who prays when the mosque is crowded prays with those who are praying outside the mosque in the rows outside the mosque. Fear Allah as much as you are able. Be with the pilgrims. Do not go to a comfortable, decorated apartment. This person wants to be happy, or rather, he does not want to be in Mina. They have a place for him in Mina. If you give him a comfortable, cool apartment, he will not be with the pilgrims enduring the heat and the sun, and he will not accustom himself to the matters of Hajj with the pilgrims. Yes.
