He left off spending the Night in Mina due to his Illness
Question :
What is the ruling on whoever left off spending the night in Mina for one night, which was the 11th night (i.e., the night of the 10th of Thul-Hijjah)? This was due to the Hajj pilgrim being ill and he was not able to spend the night in Mina during that night. However, he stoned the pillars during the day after midday, meaning he stoned the pillars on the 11th day (of Thul-Hijjah) during the days of At-Tashreeq, along with the stoning the pillars on the 12th day during the daytime after midday. Is he required to slaughter an animal in this case, since he left off spending the 11th night in Mina, even though he spent the 12th night in Mina and stoned the pillars after midday for that day, then he traveled from Mina to Makkah? We hope for some clarification concerning this along with mentioning the evidence.
Answer:
As long as leaving off spending the night in Mina was for one night due to the excuse of illness, there is no sin on him. This is due to Allâh's Statement:
"So fear Allah as much as you are able."
This is also because the Prophet ﷺ exempted the people responsible for supplying water and the shepherds from spending the night in Mina due to their providing water and guarding the animals. And Allâh knows best.
