The ruling on stoning the pillars from any direction and using cement stones
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. Some people used to stand at the middle pillar on the side facing the highway, and they would direct people to the opposite side, saying that their stoning toward the place where they stand is not valid, and that they must repeat it.
Answer:
This is not correct; it is not valid. The pillar is valid from whichever direction you stone it, praise be to Allah. That is why it is round in shape, so that people can spread out when stoning. So from whichever direction you stone it, it is valid, praise be to Allah.
