Does not having a Hajj permit, performing Ihram from Makkah on the Day of 'Arafah, and not spending the night in Mina invalidate Hajj?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Hajj is not invalidated by mistakes, but the pilgrim is required to offer a sacrifice (dam) due to leaving two obligations: entering into ihram from the miqat, and not spending the night in Mina during the days of Tashreeq.
The sacrifice (dam) is a sheep or one-seventh of a camel, to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed among its poor.
An exception to the requirement of a sacrifice for not spending the night in Mina is for one who could not find a place to stay after making a diligent effort; in this case, no sacrifice is required of them.
