We went to Hajj, and when we ascended to 'Arafah, the car broke down at the end of 'Arafah. We prayed Maghrib, repaired the car, and walked, but we did not know the way.

The questioner : The second question: He says: We went to Hajj.
The Shaykh : What? What?
The questioner : And when we ascended from 'Arafah, the car broke down at the end of 'Arafah. We prayed Maghrib, repaired the car, and walked. But we did not know the way. So we got lost, and the car broke down a second time, and we did not reach Muzdalifah until after the sun had risen. What is the ruling, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : First: I will not answer this question. When did this happen? When did this happen? In which year?
The questioner : No, the date was not specified. It was not specified in which year.
The Shaykh : Let it be at the end of the year. Why is he asking now? Eleven months have already passed. Why is he asking now?
The questioner : What is the ruling, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : We do not give the ruling.
The questioner : And if the question was delayed.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I see that people like these do not deserve an answer, unless they are ignorant. But in the situation you described, no one is ignorant that there is an error. He should have asked while he was in Makkah before Hajj ended. However, according to the known rules among scholars: whoever does not catch the overnight stay in Muzdalifah, or at least arrives before Fajr, owes a sacrificial animal to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor. And whoever does not find one, nothing is required of him. Yes.
