Relieving oneself at Muzdalifah out of dire necessity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh informed you, may Allah guide you, that on the day of Muzdalifah, the restrooms are very few relative to the number of pilgrims, to the extent that some are forced to urinate on the road or in other grazing areas. Do these people deserve the curse, even though they are compelled?
Answer:
No, they do not deserve it, if Allah wills. This is due to dire necessity. This is due to dire necessity, and dire necessity has a ruling except for what you are compelled to do. Allah the Exalted said: “Indeed, Allah has forgiven you for what you were compelled to do.” The principle is that there is no prohibition with dire necessity. There is no prohibition, no command, for a person to be compelled to this. This is permissible, if Allah wills. But he must relieve himself in a place where the people are not harmed by it.
