Does stoning the Jamarat on the eleventh and twelfth (of Dhul-Hijjah) before noon necessitate a ransom? Must it be slaughtered and distributed within the Haram, and how is that done discreetly? Is staying overnight in Mina considered sufficient if one arrives there after midnight on the twelfth due to overcrowding?

"Stoning the Jamarat after zawal (midday) is a Sunnah. There is no blame upon someone who stoned before zawal out of ignorance. If she wishes to be cautious, she should sacrifice a sheep in Makkah and distribute it among the poor of the Haram. Delay in entering Mina due to crowds does not require anything from you."
