The Ruling on Delaying the Stoning of the Pillars in Hajj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, may Allah preserve you, a listener whose code name is M with an alif, says: In the year 2014, I performed the obligatory Hajj, and all praise, grace, and favor belong to Allah. I decided to perform the obligatory Hajj on foot without using any means of transportation between the rites. I stoned the second and third pillars after midnight on the day of stoning, around 3:00 AM, to avoid the severe congestion at midday. Naturally, I did this based on the advice of one of the sheikhs present in Mina at the time. After I had completely finished performing the rites and Hajj was over, and before leaving Makkah, I asked one of the sheikhs in the Haram about what I had done, but he told me: "Your Hajj is not valid; go back and stone again." However, at that time, I did not have the financial or physical ability to do so, so I ignored the fatwa and left Makkah. Is this action correct or wrong? Please inform me. May Allah bless you.
Answer:
It is one of the obligatory duties of Hajj, so you owe an expiation. You owe an expiation. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
