The Case of One Who Spends the Nights in Mina

لَا تَبِتْ لَيَالِيَ التَّشْرِيقِ إِلَّا بِمِنًى فَإِنْ بِتَّ فِي غَيْرِهَا فَعَلَيْكَ دَمٌ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يَنْتَصِفْ لَكَ اللَّيْلُ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ بِمِنًى إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شُغُلُكَ بِنُسُكِكَ أَوْ قَدْ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ تُصْبِحَ بِغَيْرِهَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَارَ عِشَاءً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي طَوَافِهِ وَ دُعَائِهِ و

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not pass the nights of tashriq (11, 12 and 13) in any place other than Mina. If you pass these nights in other places, you owe an animal for offering. If you go out in the beginning of the night, you must return before midnight, unless you are busy with an act of hajj or you

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الزِّيَارَةِ مِنْ مِنًى قَالَ إِنْ زَارَ بِالنَّهَارِ أَوْ عِشَاءً فَلَا يَنْفَجِرِ الْفَجْرُ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ بِمِنًى وَ إِنْ زَارَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ أَسْحَرَ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ وَ هُوَ بِمَكَّةَ[2].

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about visiting (the House) from Mina’. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he visits during the day or during al-‘Isha’ he must be in Mina’ before dawn. If he visits after midnight; and during the hours of dawn, then it is not harmful if it becomes dawn while he is in Makkah.’”

إِنْ بَاتَ بِمَكَّةَ فَعَلَيْهِ دَمٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ لَوْ أَصْبَحَ دُونَ مِنًى. - وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَزُورُ فَيَنَامُ دُونَ مِنًى قَالَ إِذَا جَازَ عَقَبَةَ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَنَامَ‌[1].

“This is about a man who visits the House and sleeps on the way. He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘If he passes the night in Makkah, he owes one animal for offering, but if he is out of Makkah, then it is not harmful even if it becomes dawn before reaching Mina’.’” In another Hadith from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a m

إِذَا زَارَ الْحَاجُّ مِنْ مِنًى فَخَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَجَاوَزَ بُيُوتَ مَكَّةَ فَنَامَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ مِنًى فَلَا شَيْ‌ءَ عَلَيْهِ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one performing al-Hajj visits the House from Mina’, then comes out of Makkah and sleeps, and it becomes dawn before reaching Mina’, he is not obligated for anything in this matter.’”

لَا تَدْخُلُوا مَنَازِلَكُمْ بِمَكَّةَ إِذَا زُرْتُمْ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ[2].

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not enter your lodgings when you visit the House, meaning thereby people of Makkah.’”
