The Ruling on Stoning the Pillars Before the Sun Reaches Its Zenith on the Days of Tashriq

Question:
We take a call from our brother 'Abd al-Karim from al-Hawtah. Go ahead, my brother. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I have a question about the stoning in Hajj, the farewell stoning. Go ahead. Is stoning before the sun passes its zenith permissible or not permissible, O Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good. And does the one who did it owe anything or does he owe nothing?

Answer:
Stoning, my brother, is not permissible on the days of Tashriq except after the sun passes its zenith. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the Companions. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wait, along with his Companions, until the sun passed its zenith, then he would go and stone the pillars. He did not grant a dispensation for anyone to stone before the sun passes its zenith. So the one who stones before the sun passes its zenith on the days of Tashriq, his stoning is not valid, and it is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
