The ruling on hiring the weak to leave Muzdalifah after the moon has set

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If the weak hire people to leave Muzdalifah immediately after the moon has set, and they are able to perform the stoning, tawaf, and sa'y before dawn, what is the ruling on their action?

The Shaykh : Their action is permissible and there is no harm in it, because if it is permissible for a person to leave Muzdalifah, then it is permissible for him to do everything that follows from that. So if the weak leave Muzdalifah at the end of the night after the moon has set and arrive at Mina, let them stone the pillars, let them go down to Makkah, let them perform tawaf and sa'y, and let them return. Even if they return before the sun rises in this example, there is no harm, because the permission for the weak to leave is only so that they can perform the rites of Hajj before the crowd of people and their crushing.
