The Expiation for Not Staying Overnight in Mina on the Days of Tashriq
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the expiation for the one who does not stay overnight in Mina on the nights of staying there, given that one of the sheikhs issued a fatwa to us to feed ten poor people? Is this fatwa correct?
The Shaykh:
If he left off staying overnight for all the nights of Tashriq without an excuse, then feeding is not sufficient; he must slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, because they left off an obligatory part of the Hajj, and whoever leaves off an obligation owes a blood sacrifice. As for feeding, they said it suffices for one night, for example, if he leaves off one night, it suffices that he feeds one poor person. But if he leaves off all the nights, he must offer a fidyah. And as for the one who issued the fatwa to you? Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, she says.
The Shaykh:
If he left off staying overnight for an excuse and was unable to do so, then he owes nothing. Yes.
