Missing the overnight stay at Muzdalifah due to congestion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We walked from 'Arafah to Muzdalifah on foot, and the movement stopped completely five hundred meters before the start of Muzdalifah. We were unable to move at all until 2:30, then a clearance occurred. However, we feared walking toward the pedestrian path to enter Muzdalifah because of the congestion, and we had women with us, so we did not enter it until Fajr broke. What is required of us regarding this?
Answer:
If you were unable and had an excuse, there is nothing that drops the overnight stay from you. Because you did not leave it out of laziness or negligence, but rather you left it because of the congestion and hardship. Yes.
