Not Staying in Mina on the 8th

Q: If a person did not stay in Mina at all on the 8th of Zul Hijjah, will damm become waajib on him?

A: If a person did not stay in Mina without a valid reason, then this will be makrooh as he has opposed the sunnah. However, no damm or penalty will be compulsory upon him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

ولو بات بمكة تلك الليلة أو بعرفة أجزأه... ولكنه أساء لتركه سننا كثيرة (غنية الناسك صـ 146) 

ولو بات في غيرها متعمدا لا يلزمه شيء عندنا (الهداية 1/275)
