The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : I mentioned in a previous fatwa that the reward of one who goes from Mina to their accommodation in Makkah after the Fajr prayer is deficient. What is the period during which the pilgrim can go?
The Shaykh : If he has stoned the pillars, sacrificed, and shaved his head, he should descend to Makkah; this is the best.
The questioner : And before that, and before that, he is supposed to be there.
The Shaykh : The best is that he stons the pillars.
The questioner : During the days of Tashriq, I mentioned that some groups go to their accommodation after the Fajr prayer and do not return until...
The Shaykh : During the days of Tashriq, it is best to be in Mina.
The questioner : For the entire period.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And what is the period during which he can descend?
The Shaykh : This is the opinion of the jurists: he may go for the whole day, even if he goes to Cairo or beyond Cairo and returns, but this is a weak opinion. We hold 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 remained in Mina, not descending to Makkah except on the Day of 'Id for the Tawaf of Ifadah.
