Third question: Is it permissible for one who stays overnight at Muzdalifah to depart before the darkness of the night has fully lifted?
Yes, it is permissible, if he is unable to handle the congestion—Meaning: the congestion of the pilgrims—whether due to weakness in his body, illness, old age, or otherwise, it is permissible for him to depart at the end of the night,And to clarify this: to depart when the moon has set,And the evidence for this: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to the weak among his household to depart from Mina—Meaning: from Muzdalifah—by night, and Asma' bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with them both) would wait until the moon set and then depart, and she would stone the pillars before Fajr.
