Summary
Nafar Awwal is the option of leaving Mina early on 12 Dhul Hijjah, while Nafar Thani means staying until 13 Dhul Hijjah, which is the more virtuous choice. The conditions are leaving Mina before sunset on 12 Dhul Hijjah, completing the 42 pebbles at the three jamrahs over the two Tashreeq days, and staying two nights at Mina properly. The pilgrim must also intend Nafar Awwal before leaving and act on that intention promptly, without resolving to return to Mina for the night. If the pilgrim has begun the journey but is still within Mina when the sun sets, the nafar is still considered valid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jemaah haji tersebut perlu meninggalkan Mina sebelum jatuh matahari pada 12 Zulhijjah.
