What is the ruling on one who goes to Hajj every year and stays outside Mina seeking comfort, even though it is possible to find places in Mina, but they are rough?

The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Your Eminence, what is your opinion of people who go to Hajj every year but stay outside the boundaries of Mina seeking comfort, so that their car is right next to them, even though if they entered Mina they would find places, but they are rough in the mountains or such? What should we say to them?

The Shaykh : Tell these people who stay outside Mina when it is possible to stay in Mina that they are sinful and transgressing the limits of Allah, because it is obligatory for the pilgrim to be in Mina unless he cannot find a place. Indeed, Allah the Exalted says in His Book: and He says: And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to his uncle al-Abbas to leave the overnight stay in Mina during the nights of Mina for the sake of providing water to the pilgrims. So one who is unable to do so is even more excusable. But as for those who are able, yet they say: "We want comfort," I advise them to have more comfort than this by staying in their homes, so that they do not burden themselves with the hardship of travel, expenses, and parting from their families. Hajj necessarily involves hardship because it is jihad, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when Aisha asked him: And the Exalted said: Brother Abdullah.
