Question:
We conclude this session with a question from Sister Umm al-Turki. She says that she performed Hajj last year with her husband, and on the first day of the days of Tashriq, she stoned the small pillar. She says there was no crowd, and she delegated her husband to stone the middle and large pillars due to the heavy crowd. She says, “In the evening, I asked my husband to repeat the stoning of the pillars completely. Do I have to do anything? If she stoned the small pillar…”
Answer:
And she was unable to do so, so she delegated her husband to complete it by stoning the middle and large pillars. There is no harm in that. Delegation is permissible in case of inability. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. And I said, for example, that she delegated her husband to stone the pillars completely. No, there is no need for him to stone them, as long as she delegated him due to inability and he stoned them on her behalf. There is no need to repeat it. Praise be to Allah. Thank you, Honorable Shaykh Salih, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. O brothers and sisters, Honorable Shaykh Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, has answered your questions and inquiries in the program *Nur 'ala al-Darb* (Light on the Path). Thank you to the Shaykh, thank you to you all, and we will meet again, if Allah wills. And may Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.
