People racing to depart from Muzdalifah: The principle is that the Sunnah is set aside to avert harm, and here the harm has occurred, as people are racing before midnight.

The questioner : The weak ones are currently racing. People are racing to depart from Muzdalifah. The principle is that the Sunnah is set aside to avert harm, and now the harm is that people are racing even before midnight. So, do we say, “O Shaykh, tell the weak ones to delay,” even if that means a deficiency in ...?

The Shaykh : I mean, you say: If they are permitted to depart at the end of the night, the congestion will be before the sunrise, is that right?

The questioner : Yes

The Shaykh : That will not happen, because we think that no more than thirty percent will depart. Yes.
