The ruling on one who spends the night outside Mina during the days of Tashriq

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner, Ibrahim Muhammad from Sudan, says that he performed Hajj four years ago and carried out the acts of Hajj in their proper order, but he says he stayed outside Mina during the days of Mina, half a kilometer or less outside the boundaries of Mina. So, is there anything required of me in that?

Answer:
If he searched in Mina for a residence or a place to stay during the days of Tashriq and did not find one.
Meaning, to spend the nights of the days of Tashriq there, and he did not find one, then there is no blame on him; because he is unable to do so, and staying overnight in Mina is obligatory if possible. So, if it is not possible, if he did not find a place, and he was unable to stay overnight in Mina, and he stayed in a place near it, then there is no blame on him in that; because there is no obligation with inability. This is inability. But if he was negligent and did not search for a place, and was content with staying outside Mina, and he did not know if there was a place in Mina or not, then he is negligent, and a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of him, the fidyah in place of staying overnight in Mina.
