The ruling on one who hastens, throws the pebbles, then performs the farewell tawaf, and the sun sets while he is in Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man intended to hasten, so he threw the pebbles, then he went down to Makkah to perform the farewell tawaf, then the sun set on him in Makkah. Is it permissible for him to leave Makkah or not?
This is permissible. What is forbidden is that you remain in Mina until the sun sets, while you have the intention to stay, and then after the sun sets it occurs to you to hasten; this is not permissible; because you intended to stay, so you stayed, and the sun set on you.And Allah Mighty and Majestic says: [al-Baqarah: 203] and (in) indicates the time.
As for if you hastened and left Mina before the sun set, or you prepared to leave but the journey held you up until the sun set while you were in Mina, then continue in your journey.
The questioner: Meaning, the criterion is leaving Mina, not the tawaf?The Shaykh: Yes.
The criterion is leaving Mina.
The Shaykh: Also, the criterion is leaving Mina for one who intended to stay and then it occurred to him to stay after the sunset. As for one who prepared and loaded his luggage and walked, but the journey held him up until the sun set, let him continue and he owes nothing.
