Question
On the 12th Zhil Hijjah, due to the excessive crowds it's not always possible to leave Mina by Maghrib. What should I do if I'm still in Mina after Maghrib on the 12th Zhil lHijjah?
Answer
It is Sunnah to leave Mina before the sun sets on the 12th. If this is not possible then there is no harm nor sin to stay over after sunset on the 12th. Only if one is still in Mina at the time of Subh Saadiq of the following day, then pelting of the 13th becomes Waajib. There is no Dumm for staying over in Mina after Maghrib on the 12th.
