Chapter: The Case of One Who Spends the Nights in Mina 1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ٠َاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ وَابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠ُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَ٠َّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ لا تَبِتْ لَيَالِيَ التَّشْرِيقِ إِلاَّ بِ٠ِنًى فَإِنْ بِتَّ فِي غَيْرِهَا فَعَلَيْكَ دَ٠ٌ وَإِنْ خَرَجْتَ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ فَلا يَنْتَصِفْ لَكَ اللَّيْلُ إِلاَّ وَأَنْتَ بِ٠ِنًى إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ شُغُلُكَ بِنُسُكِكَ أَوْ قَدْ خَرَجْتَ ٠َكَّةَ وَإِنْ خَرَجْتَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ فَلا يَضُرُّكَ أَنْ تُصْبِحَ بِغَيْرِهَا قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَارَ عِشَاءً فَلَ٠ْ يَزَلْ فِي طَوَافِهِ وَدُعَائِهِ وَفِي السَّعْيِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْ٠َرْوَةِ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ كَانَ فِي طَاعَةِ الله.

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 are taken out of Makkah. If you go out after midnight, then it is not harmful to pass the rest of the night in other places.’ I then asked about a man who visits (the House) during al-‘Isha’ and continues Tawaf, prayers and Sa‘y between al-Safa’ and al-Marwah until dawn.

He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not harmful; he was obeying the commandments of Allah.’” حسن كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/205))
