Sifat al-Hajj wa’l-‘Umrah (Description of Hajj and ‘Umrah), Doubt & clear, - * The one who cannot find any place in Mina does not have to sit in the street or drive around in his car?

Share ::-

Some people during Hajj stay outside Mina without bothering to try to look for a place in Mina. If they come at 1 or 2 a.m., they come to Mina and spend the night in the car, waiting for Fajr. Is the one who does this regarded as having stayed overnight in Mina or has he failed to stay overnight?.

Praise be to Allaah.
Staying overnight in Mina on the night before the eleventh and the night before the twelfth of Dhu’l-Hijjah is obligatory according to the correct opinion. Its being obligatory is indicated by the fact that when al-‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) wanted to go to Makkah to draw water for the pilgrims, the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) granted him a concession allowing him to do so.
The scholars said that the words “granted him a concession” indicate that the original principle is that it is obligatory, because a concession cannot be granted except in the case of something that is (ordinarily) obligatory. So what people have to do is look for a place in Mina before halting in Muzdalifah; if he cannot find a place then he should halt in Muzdalifah and stay there, and he does not have to go to Mina and drive around in his car for most of the night, or sit on the street between the cars, which may be dangerous for him. So we say: If you could not find a place in Mina, then stay in Muzdalifah, where the tents end, and you do not have to do anything so long as you looked for a place and could not find any, because Allah does not burden any soul beyond its scope.
