Question: What is the ruling regarding
one who made the Hajj and then departed from 'Arafah
before sunset due to his work commitments?
Response:
According to a majority of the People of Knowledge, the one
who departed from 'Arafah
before sunset is required to make fidyah (ransom) except if
he were able to return there during the night, then the fidyah
(ransom) is not required. And the fidyah (ransom) is to perform
a sacrifice and distribute it to the poor and needy in Makkah.
