The questioner : What is the criterion for staying overnight?
The Shaykh : The criterion for staying overnight, the scholars said: It is obligatory to be in Mina for the majority of the night, meaning: more than half of the night. But if someone leaves Mina, for example, for the Tawaf al-Ifadah at the beginning of the night, and then it does not become easy for him to return due to the crowd until after the dawn, then he owes nothing.
