Ruling on departing from Muzdalifah after midnight

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. If a group is in a car with them women and elderly people, is it permissible for the rest of the companions to depart to Muzdalifah to throw the pebbles, to throw the pebbles after midnight?

Answer:
It is permissible. It is permissible for the weak, those granted a dispensation, and the strong ones accompanying them. It is permissible for everyone to depart because the dispensation is general. However, if the strong ones are able to stay until the Fajr prayer and depart before the sun rises, then for whoever is able to stay, it is better for him to stay. He prays Fajr and supplicates to Allah after the Fajr prayer, then proceeds to Mina before the sun rises. This is the best and most complete. As for if he is unable to stay after them, he goes with them. Yes.
