Staying overnight in Mina and remaining there

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, do you know that Lebanon uses the Aziziyah apartment? He takes the two [pilgrims] there and performs the rites in our country, and I have forgotten the hour regarding the experience before you, this Shaykh.

Answer:
If the overnight stay in Mina takes place, the obligatory act and the rite are fulfilled, but he misses out on the reward of remaining in Mina and praying the five daily prayers in Mina. All of this is lost to him. Therefore, it is better for him to remain in Mina day and night and to pray the five daily prayers there, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Remaining in Mina is an act of worship, whereas the obligatory act is the overnight stay. If that is accomplished, it is sufficient. Yes.
