The Ruling on Staying in Mina and Leaving It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: I mentioned in a previous fatwa that the reward of the one who leaves Mina after the Fajr prayer to go to their accommodation in Makkah is deficient. What is the period during which the pilgrim is able to go?The Shaykh: If he has stoned the pillars, sacrificed, and shaved his head, he descends to Makkah. This is the original ruling.
And it is better during the days of Tashreeq to be in Mina for the entire period.
As for the statement of the jurists that he has the whole day, even if he goes to Cairo or beyond Cairo and returns, this is a weak opinion. We see that the person who wants to perform the Hajj of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) should adhere to it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Mina and did not descend to Makkah except on the day of Eid for the Tawaf of Ifadah.
