Although stoning at nights is Makrooh, it will be deemed valid since all the nights are subordinate to the days which follow them except the night which comes after the day of Arafaat (which is subordinate to the day preceding it).

It is also Sunnat to leave Mina before sunset on the twelfth day if one desires to do so. If, however, one is still in Mina after sunset on this twelfth day then he would have erred (i.e. committed a Makrooh act) although no penalty will have accrued against him.
