Q 10: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah (Exalted be He): But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him ? Could you please clarify the meaning of the Ayah's text?


A: Allah (Glorified be He) says: And remember Allâh during the appointed Days. But whosoever hastens to leave in two days, there is no sin on him and whosoever stays on, there is no sin on him, if his aim is to do good and obey Allâh (fear Him) The appointed days here refer to the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah). Therefore, whoever leaves after throwing the pebbles of the 12th day after mid-day and before sunset, he has hastened to leave. And whoever stays at Mina until he throws the pebbles of the 13th day, he has delayed his leaving and the later is the best because his action would then be in conformity with the action of the Prophet (peace be upon him).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
