Is it permissible to stay overnight outside Mina due to the crowds?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We were unable to find accommodation in Mina because of the severe crowding, so we stayed outside the boundaries of Mina. Is this permissible or not?

Answer:
The answer: If the crowding in Mina becomes severe, and the pilgrim has exerted his utmost effort and done his best to obtain a place to stay in Mina, but it was not made easy for him, then it is permissible for him to stay outside it out of dire necessity. And success is from Allah.
