Can women omit sleeping over in Muzdilifah and go straight to the hotel from Arafah due to crowds and difficulty especially for going to the bathroom,

Question

Can women omit sleeping over in Muzdilifah and go straight to the hotel from Arafah due to crowds and difficulty especially for going to the bathroom, etc.?

Answer

If the crowds are excessive and it's difficult to spend the night in Muzdilifah, then women are allowed not to sleep over, they may return to Mina or to their respective accommodations. Men who accompany their women back to Mina or their respective accommodation need to return to Muzdilifah and spend the time in Muzdilifah between Fajr and sunrise, otherwise Dumm will be Waajib upon the men.
