The Ruling on Staying Overnight in Mina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it obligatory to sleep while staying overnight in Mina?
No.
Remaining there is sufficient. Also, remaining for most of the night is sufficient, and it is not obligatory to sleep the entire night.Meaning: If the night is ten hours long and he remains for six hours, that is sufficient. However, it is better to remain for the entire time.And here is an issue, which is: Some people say: Mina is crowded and one cannot find a place in it.
So we say: If he does not find a place in it, let him stay at the end of a tent so that he is with the people. Just as if a man does not find a place in the mosque to pray, does he go to his house or what does he do? He prays with the rows if they are connected, even if it is in the road.
