The ruling on stoning the pillars during the days of Tashriq before the sun reaches its zenith

Question:
The questioner, Muhammad from Eastern Egypt, says: We went for Hajj last year and found the people stoning the pillars on the second day after the Fajr prayer, so I stoned with them. However, I heard from some of my brothers that they say stoning the pillars is after the sun passes its zenith. Since I was unable to stone on that day due to exhaustion and the crowd, what is required of me?

Answer:
Yes, stoning before the sun passes its zenith on the days of Tashriq is not valid, because it is stoning before the time. The time for stoning only begins when the sun passes its zenith. So your stoning before the sun passes its zenith is not correct. Therefore, you must slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah and distribute it to the poor. If you go to Makkah yourself, slaughter it and distribute it; otherwise, appoint someone to slaughter it in Makkah on your behalf and distribute it to the poor. Yes.
