نَفْر
The term Nafr encompasses the final phase of Haji when jamaah haji leave Mina to return to Mekkah for the farewell Tawaf and their onward journeys. The Al-Quran provides explicit permission for flexibility in this matter: 'Whoever hastens in two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him — for the one who fears Allah' (2:203). This verse establishes two valid options: Nafr Awwal (first/early departure) on the 12th of Dzulhijjah after completing the stoning on that day, and Nafr Thani (second/late departure) on the 13th after completing the final day of stoning. While both are boleh, scholars note that staying for the third day (Nafr Thani) is more rewarding and was the practice of Nabi. The key condition for Nafr Awwal is that the jamaah haji must leave Mina before sunset on the 12th; if the sun sets while they are still in Mina, they must stay for the stoning on the 13th.
