Al-Sharḥ al-Mumtiʿ - Ibn al-'Uthaymin - (7/361)

His statement, “leaves before sunset,” means that he leaves Mina before the sun sets, so that it may truly be said that he hastened his departure in two days. If he delays leaving until after sunset, he has not hastened his departure in two days, because the two days have passed.

His statement, “otherwise, he must stay overnight and perform the stoning the following day,” means that if he does not leave before sunset, he must stay overnight on the night of the thirteenth and stone the following day, after the sun has passed its zenith, just as on the two preceding days.

The evidence is that Allah says, “in two days” [al-Baqarah 2:203]. The word “in” denotes containment, and the container must necessarily be broader than what it contains. Accordingly, departure must take place within those two days.

It has been narrated from Umar—may Allah be pleased with him—that whoever is overtaken by evening must remain. (1)

Issue: Suppose a group has dismantled their tents, loaded their belongings, and set out, but their progress is held up by the large number of vehicles, so that the sun sets upon them before they have left Mina. They may continue their departure, because they were delayed through no choice of their own.

His statement, “When he intends to leave Mecca, he must not depart until he has performed the Farewell Tawaf”: the words, “he must not depart,” indicate prohibition, based on the hadith of Ibn Abbas—may Allah be pleased with him and his father—

(1) Al-Bayhaqi recorded it (5:152); Malik also recorded it in al-Muwatta' (1:407), as did al-Bayhaqi (5:152) on the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. Al-Nawawi graded both reports as authentic in al-Majmu' (8:283). It has also been narrated in marfu' form, but this is not established, as al-Bayhaqi stated.

قوله: «خرج قبل الغروب»، أي: خرج من منى قبل أن تغرب الشمس، وذلك ليصدق عليه أنه تعجل في يومين؛ إذ لو أخر الخروج إلى ما بعد الغروب لم يكن تعجل في يومين؛ لأن اليومين قد فاتا. قوله: «وإلا لزمه المبيت والرمي من الغد»، أي: وإلا يخرج قبل غروب الشمس لزمه المبيت ليلة الثالث عشر، والرمي من الغد، بعد الزوال، كاليومين قبله. والدليل أن الله قال: ﴿فِي يَوْمَيْنِ﴾ [البقرة: ٢٠٣] وفي للظرفية، والظرف لا بد أن يكون أوسع من المظروف، وعليه فلا بد أن يكون الخروج في نفس اليومين. وقد روي عن عمر ﵁: أَنَّ مَنْ أدركه المساء فإنه يلزمه البقاء (١). مسألة: لو أن جماعة حلوا الخيام وحملوا العفش وركبوا، ولكن حبسهم المسير؛ لكثرة السيارات فغربت عليهم الشمس قبل الخروج من منى، فلهم أن يستمروا في الخروج، لأن هؤلاء حبسوا بغير اختيار منهم. قوله: «فإذا أراد الخروج من مكة لم يخرج حتى يطوف للوداع»، قوله: «لم يخرج» تحريماً، لحديث ابن عباس ﵄

(١) أخرجه البيهقي (٥/ ١٥٢)؛ وأخرجه مالك في «الموطأ» (١/ ٤٠٧)؛ ومن طريق البيهقي (٥/ ١٥٢) عن ابن عمر ﵄. وصححهما النووي في «المجموع» (٨/ ٢٨٣) وروى مرفوعاً ولا يثبت، كما قال البيهقي.
