1. Legal mabit in Mina during the night tasyriq according to most Shafi'i school of thought, Maliki, and some Hanbali school of thought is obligatory and those who do not mabit charged daam. But there is in part of the Hanafi school of thought, in part of the Hanbali, partly of the Shafi'i School, and as a Zahiri school of thought, that the mabit in Mina on the night of the Tasyriq is Sunna.
2. Mabit in the expansion of camps in the Mina expansion area is legal, as in Mina, as the opinion of the Makkah scholars and other scholars, also according to ijtihad based on emergencies because the conditions in Mina are now overcrowded and camps in the Mina expansion are still connected with the camp at Mina.
3. For those who are of the opinion, the mabit in Mina is obligate and the expansion of the tents in Mina is not legal for mabit, so the implementation of the mabit goes to Mina territory and then after the mabit returns to the tents in the Mina expansion.
