✅ Answer: Please refer to the following narrations:

1⃣عَنْ مُعَاوِیَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قَالَ: إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ طَوَافِکَ لِلْحَجِّ وَ طَوَافِ النِّسَاءِ فَلَا تَبِیتُ إِلَّا بِمِنًی إِلَّا أَنْ یَکُونَ شُغُلُکَ فِی نُسُکِکَ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّیْلِ فَلَا یَضُرُّکَ أَنْ تَبِیتَ فِی غَیْرِ مِنًی.

📚 Al-Tahdheeb, Vol. 5, p. 256

Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: When you finish Tawaf al-Hajj and Tawaf al-Nisa, do not spend the night outside of Mina unless you are engaged in your rites. If you leave Mina after midnight, it is fine to spend the night outside of Mina!

2⃣عَنْ جَمِیلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ یَأْتِیَ الرَّجُلُ مَکَّةَ فَیَطُوفَ بِهَا فِی أَیَّامِ مِنًی وَ لَا یَبِیتُ بِهَا.

📚 Al-Tahdheeb, Vol. 5, p. 260

Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: There is no problem if a person comes to Mecca during the days of Mina to perform Tawaf and does not stay the night in Mecca (does not spend the night there)!

3⃣عَنْ مُعَاوِیَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قَالَ: لَا تَبِتْ لَیَالِیَ التَّشْرِیقِ إِلَّا بِمِنًی فَإِنْ بِتَّ فِی غَیْرِهَا فَعَلَیْکَ دَمٌ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ أَوَّلَ اللَّیْلِ فَلَا یَنْتَصِفْ لَکَ اللَّیْلُ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ بِمِنًی إِلَّا أَنْ یَکُونَ شُغُلُکَ بِنُسُکِکَ أَوْ قَدْ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مَکَّةَ وَ إِنْ خَرَجْتَ نِصْفَ اللَّیْلِ فَلَا یَضُرُّکَ أَنْ تُصْبِحَ بِغَیْرِهَا قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ زَارَ عِشَاءً فَلَمْ یَزَلْ فِی طَوَافِهِ وَ دُعَائِهِ وَ فِی السَّعْیِ بَیْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ حَتَّی یَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ قَالَ لَیْسَ عَلَیْهِ شَیْءٌ کَانَ فِی طَاعَةِ اللَّه

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 4, p. 514

Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Do not spend the nights of Tashreeq outside of Mina. If you do so outside of Mina, you must offer a sacrifice. If you leave Mina at the beginning of the night, your night should not reach its middle unless you are in Mina, unless you are occupied with your rites or have left Mecca before midnight. If you leave Mina after midnight, it is fine to spend the night outside of Mina.

It is said: I asked the Imam about a person who goes to visit the Kaaba during the evening and is constantly engaged in Tawaf and Dua, performing the Sa’i between Safa and Marwah until the break of dawn. The Imam said: There is no issue with him! He has been engaged in divine worship!

4⃣عَنْ عِیصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْداللَّه عَنِ الزِّیَارَةِ مِنْ مِنًی قَالَ إِنْ زَارَ بِالنَّهَارِ أَوْ عِشَاءً فَلَا یَنْفَجِرِ الْفَجْرُ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ بِمِنًی وَ إِنْ زَارَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّیْلِ وَ أَسْحَرَ فَلَا بَأْسَ أَنْ یَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ وَ هُوَ بِمَکَّة

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 4, p. 514

Ays said: I asked Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) about visiting from Mina. Imam replied: If he goes during the day or at the time of Isha, he should not reach dawn unless he is in Mina. If he goes after midnight and leaves before dawn, there is no issue if he is in Mecca at dawn!

5⃣عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْداللَّه قَالَ: إِذَا زَارَ الْحَاجُّ مِنْ مِنًی فَخَرَجَ مِنْ مَکَّةَ فَجَاوَزَ بُیُوتَ مَکَّةَ فَنَامَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ قَبْلَ أَنْ یَأْتِیَ مِنًی فَلَا شَیْءَ عَلَیْهِ.

📚 Al-Kafi, Vol. 4, p. 515

Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: If a pilgrim goes from Mina to visit and leaves Mecca on the way back, passing through the houses of Mecca, sleeps, and enters Mina after dawn, there is no issue with him.

✅ Based on the above narrations and others, the nights of Tashreeq, or the nights of Mina, are the 11th, 12th, and 13th of Dhu al-Hijjah, during which pilgrims are required to stay in Mina on the 11th and 12th nights, and in some cases, also the 13th night. If they leave Mina before sunset or after sunset, they are required to return to Mina before midnight and stay there until dawn.

✅ If a pilgrim leaves Mina after midnight, it is fine for him to spend the night outside of Mina.

✅ If a pilgrim leaves Mina before midnight and spends the night outside of Mina, they must offer a sacrifice of a sheep for each instance unless they were continuously engaged in their Hajj rites until dawn or had left the area of the houses of Mecca and the city of Mecca by dawn.

✅ It is permissible to go from Mina to Mecca for Nafl Tawaf, but you must return before midnight and not spend the night in Mecca.
