Statement with evidence that staying in the valley of Abtah is not among the obligatory acts of Hajj, such that one who omits it would be sinful or that a sacrifice would be required as expiation for not staying there.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) only stayed in the valley of Abtah because it was easier to depart for (Madina Munawwara) from there. Therefore, whoever wishes may stay in this valley, and whoever wishes may not stay.
