What is the ruling on a woman who performed Hajj but did not stone the Jamarat al-Aqabah and appointed her husband to stone it on her behalf?

Question : She says: Shaykh, this questioner is with us on the line. She says she performed Hajj twice and did not stone the Jamarat al-Aqabah due to the heavy crowd, and she appointed her husband to do it. What is required of her?

Answer : If she was unable to do it, then she slaughters a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah. Yes, if she was unable to do it, there is no blame on her, and her Hajj is valid. If she was able to do it, then she owes, as the jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) said, a fidyah to be slaughtered in Makkah and distributed to the poor. Thank you, may Allah keep you safe. This is if she can afford the value of the fidyah.
