Fatwa No. ( 17212 )
Q: I read a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding 'Asim ibn 'Uday , , narrated by the five and graded authentic by al-Tirmidhi . I understood from this hadith that the stoning of the pillars for those with valid excuses is done by stoning the Jamrat al-'Aqabah separately, then they may stone the pillars of the eleventh and twelfth days together, and finally they stone for the thirteenth day if they do not hasten. I also read your fatwa in the book: (Islamic Fatwas) - Part Two, page 284, under the title: (The Ruling on Stoning All the Pillars in One Day), which states: (Q: Is it permissible for the pilgrim to stone all the pillars of the days of Tashriq in one day whether that day is the first day of Tashriq, or the day of sacrifice, for example, or the last day of the days of Tashriq, and then spend the two or three nights in Mina without stoning, since he has already stoned all the pillars in one day? Is this stoning valid, or is it necessary to arrange the days, each day separately, until he finishes stoning for the three days? We ask for clarification of this with the mention of
the evidence). And your answer was: (Stoning the pillars is among the obligations of Hajj, and it is obligatory on the Day of 'Eid and the three days of Tashriq for those who do not hasten, and on the first two days for those who hasten, and on the first two days for those who hasten, and he stones for each day after the sun passes its zenith; due to the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his saying: It is not permissible to bring forward the stoning before its time, but delaying it is permissible in case of severe need, such as crowding, according to the analogy of some scholars to the shepherds; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted them a dispensation to combine the stoning of two days on the second of them, which is the twelfth day, and he arranges that by intention: the first is the Day of 'Eid, then the stoning of the first day, then the second, then the third if he does not hasten, and the Farewell Tawaf is after that, and Allah knows best. The Shaykh Ibn Baz . What was stated in the last paragraph of your fatwa led me to understand that it is permissible to stone the pillars of the four days in one location with the arrangement of intention. Is what I understood what you intended? This understanding was reinforced by a fatwa from the Permanent Committee in the same book under the title: ( How to Stone the Pillars for One Who Delays Them to the Last Days of Tashriq Due to Illness or Old Age ). The Committee's fatwa was as follows: (Q: If the pilgrim delays the stoning to the last days of Tashriq due to illness, old age, or fear of crowding, does he stone the Jamrat al-'Aqabah and the other pillars while he is in
one location, or is it necessary to stone for each day separately, meaning he stones for the first day, then starts anew for the second day, and so on for the third day, even if that involves hardship? A: He stones the Jamrat al-'Aqabah first, then he stones the pillars of the eleventh day, then the pillars of the twelfth day, then the thirteenth day if he does not hasten, and the Sunnah is to stone each day at its time according to one's ability. With this answer, the Committee has approved the permissibility of stoning the pillars for the four days in one location. My question is: I understood from your fatwa and from the Permanent Committee's fatwa that it is permissible to stone the pillars on the four days in one location, and this contradicts what I understood from the text of the authentic and explicit hadith mentioned earlier, if my understanding is correct, where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly told the shepherds of camels to stone for the Day of Sacrifice, then to stone the next day and the day after the next for two days, then to stone on the day of departure. We ask your eminence to clarify what is ambiguous to us in this matter. And may Allah reward you with the best reward for the Muslims.
A : The aforementioned fatwas are explicit that it is permissible to delay the stoning of the pillars to the thirteenth day in case of need, and they do not indicate that the pillars for all days are to be stoned in one location.
Rather, the obligation when delaying the stoning is that the pilgrim stones the Jamrat al-'Aqabah first, then he stones the pillars of the eleventh day in order, then he returns and stones the pillars of the twelfth day, and so on for the thirteenth day. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
Q: I read a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding 'Asim ibn 'Uday ,
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to the shepherds of camels regarding staying overnight in Mina, that they stone on the Day of Sacrifice, then they stone the next day and the day after the next for two days, then they stone on the day of departure
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رخص لرعاة الإبل في البيتوتة عن منى يرمون يوم النحر، ثم يرمون من الغد ومن بعد الغد ليومين، ثم يرمون يوم النفرthe evidence). And your answer was: (Stoning the pillars is among the obligations of Hajj, and it is obligatory on the Day of 'Eid and the three days of Tashriq for those who do not hasten, and on the first two days for those who hasten, and on the first two days for those who hasten, and he stones for each day after the sun passes its zenith; due to the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his saying:
Take your rituals from me
