Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, I left Mina on the second day of Tashreeq before sunset, and when I went to Makkah, one of my companions did not come.
The Shaykh : Do you want to speak in formal Arabic or in the colloquial dialect?
The questioner : In the colloquial dialect.
The Shaykh : In the colloquial dialect, very well.
The questioner : So I went back to look for him until...
The Shaykh : In Mina?
The questioner : In Mina.
The Shaykh : Very well.
The questioner : After sunset.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : After the 'Isha' prayer. So, is there anything required of me?
The Shaykh : You owe nothing, because if a person leaves Mina before sunset on the twelfth day, he has hastened his departure. If he returns to Mina to seek a need, or because it is his route and path, or to check on one of his brothers, there is no harm. Yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : There is no harm. Nothing contradicts this. May Allah bless you. If I wanted to read it, the time would pass and we have not read the question yet. Leave it for later, if Allah wills, after the Zuhr prayer when we are returning. Yes, listen, ask.
The questioner : I say, O Shaykh, regarding...
The Shaykh : Forgive us... in the light, I see everyone, yes, but save yourselves from the heat of this day for the cold of the winter day, if Allah wills. Please, go ahead.
