What is the ruling on staying overnight in Mina?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We are asking about stoning the pillars and staying overnight on the nights of Mina. Is one expiation sufficient? Or are two required?

The Shaykh : What expiation?

The questioner : One expiation for both staying overnight and stoning the pillars? Or two expiations for staying overnight and stoning the pillars?

Another questioner : He does not want to stay overnight in Mina.

The questioner : I do not want to stay overnight, and I do not want to stone the pillars.

The Shaykh : Staying overnight is necessary; staying overnight is obligatory.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not permissible. Staying overnight is necessary. But do you have women with you? You should leave after midnight...

The questioner : I am asking about Mina, about the nights of Mina and the stoning of the pillars.

The Shaykh : You do not want to stone the pillars.

The questioner : And not about Muzdalifah. I do not want to stay overnight, and I do not want to stone the pillars.

The Shaykh : You do not want to stone the pillars! And why do you not want to stone the pillars? That is not permissible. You have a good example in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner : You are correct.

The Shaykh : And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Take your rituals from me خذوا عني مناسككم
As he said:
offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers صلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 6008
He said:
Take your rituals from me خذوا عني مناسككم
So it is not permissible except that you stone the pillars. But if you fear the crowd, understand me:

The questioner : Ah

The Shaykh : You delay and stone in the evening.

The questioner : It is permissible in the evening.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Women?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Before the sun reaches its zenith, is it not permissible?

The Shaykh : It is permissible, may Allah bless you, but there is a crowd...

The questioner : Before the sun reaches its zenith...

The Shaykh : Are you asking about the Day of Sacrifice? Or the three days?

The questioner : The days of Tashriq.

The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible to stone before the sun reaches its zenith, but you should delay until after Maghrib.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And you, if Allah wills.

The questioner : This, O Shaykh, is the example you gave, which is that the one who is able ends up buying his expiation...
