The 'Isha' prayer for the one who is delayed in the car on the night of Muzdalifah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the correct ruling regarding the one who is delayed in the cars during Hajj on the night of Muzdalifah? He says: What is the correct ruling regarding the one who is delayed in the car during Hajj on the night of Muzdalifah? Does he perform the 'Isha' prayer before the middle of the night while sitting in his car? Or does he delay it until after the middle of the night when he arrives at Muzdalifah?

Answer:
If he is able to get out on the side of the road and pray, it is obligatory for him to do so. If he is unable to get out, the dire necessity remains until the dawn breaks; the time of dire necessity lasts until the dawn breaks. He continues until he gets out, even if it is before the dawn breaks, and prays. This is a dire necessity. Yes.
