Which is better for one who is with women: throwing the pebbles from Muzdalifah or delaying the throwing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If a person is with women, which is better: to leave Muzdalifah after the moon has set, or to delay the stoning until after the 'Asr prayer?

Answer : What appears to me is that it is better to advance, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the weak among his household to advance, and he did not order them to delay and stone at 'Asr. This is undoubtedly a facilitation from Allah (Mighty and Majestic), because if he advances, stones, and exits the state of ihram, that is a facilitation for him, and he rejoices in the festival as people do. But if he delays until 'Asr, he remains in the state of ihram, and there is some difficulty and hardship for the one obligated. So it is better for the one for whom the crowd is difficult to advance from Muzdalifah to stone before the crowd arrives.
