Question no. 39:
What is the rule in respect of spending night outside of Mina in the days of Tashrique whether it was intentionally or on account of unfeasibility of a suitable place at Mina? At what time should the pilgrims begin to depart from Mina? Answer No. 39: It is obligatory to spend two nights inside Mina following the 10th of Zulhijjah. This is the preference of the competent scholars for male and female pilgrims. If they cannot find a suitable place to spend the night there is no obligation, and the obligation becomes unforcible in such case. But whoever abandons it without any excuse he has to sacrifice an animal for this.
A pilgrim may leave Mina after throwing pebbles at Jamrat on the 12th day of Zulhijjah after noon. He is permitted to leave Mina after this. It is better for him to delay and throw Jamrats on the 13th day of Zulhijjah afternoon.
