Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks that he performed Hajj in the year 1412. He says: I went on the tenth day, and when we arrived from Muzdalifah to Mina to throw the pebbles, I was ignorant. I went to the middle pillar and threw it on the Day of Sacrifice, thinking it was the Jamrat al-Aqabah. On the second day, when throwing the three pillars, it became clear to me that I had made a mistake, as I had thought the pillar was one, but the throwing locations differ. Since then, I have not known what is required of me, nor what is required of me regarding not throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice. If there is an expiation, is it valid for me to make the expiation after these ten years or so? Knowing that I have not performed Hajj except this one.
Answer:
Yes. If you did not throw the Jamrat al-Aqabah on the Day of Eid or during the Days of Tashreeq, meaning you did not make up or perform the throwing on the day you realized you were mistaken, it was obligatory for you to go to the Jamrat al-Aqabah and throw it for the Day of Eid, then return and start from the small, then the middle, then the large for the day of the Days of Tashreeq. If you had done this, it would have been valid.
As for what you did not do and continued to leave the pillar, leaving the throwing of the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of you, which is slaughtering a sheep in Makkah that is acceptable for the udhiyah (sacrifice), to be distributed to the poor in Makkah. And if you are unable to slaughter due to poverty and need, then you fast ten days, because this is a compensation for leaving the obligatory act, which is throwing the Jamrat al-Aqabah. Yes.
