Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Your sister, Ayyin, from Jazan. Also, during Hajj, the crowd was very heavy on the last day of stoning. I doubted the number of pebbles I threw. What is the ruling, and what should a person do if these pebbles did not hit the target? I had run out of pebbles, and the crowd was at its peak. Will one be rewarded for the intention to aim correctly? Please inform us, may you be rewarded. The stoning.
Answer:
It is obligatory that the seven pebbles fall into the target in the basin. This requires that a person does not take risks with the crowds, but rather seizes the opportunities when the crowds are lighter. The time is ample. The time for stoning the Jamarat al-Aqabah begins from the middle of the night of the Day of Sacrifice until sunset. The time is ample in this. Likewise, on the Days of Tashreeq, it begins from the disappearance of the sun (noon) and the duration of the Dhuhr prayer, and continues until sunset. If one needs to throw at night after Maghrib, there is no harm in that due to necessity and dire need. So a person seizes the times when the crowd is lighter. As for doubt regarding hitting the target, if the doubt occurred during the act of throwing, the default is that he did not throw those pebbles in which he doubted their falling. If he doubts whether one pebble or more fell while he is throwing, he builds on certainty. He builds on certainty and completes the seven pebbles. However, if the doubt is after finishing the throwing, after the end of the throwing, it has no effect. Doubt after the act of worship has no effect. Only the doubt during the act of worship has an effect. In any case, if he is certain or it is more likely in his mind that some of the pebbles did not fall into the target, if it is one or two pebbles, for example, he gives charity to one poor person or two poor people. One pebble is given as charity to one poor person in Makkah in the Haram, and two pebbles are given as charity to two poor people. But if he doubts that a large number of pebbles did not reach the basin or the target, he slaughters a sheep in Makkah and distributes it to the poor in Makkah. If he does not find one, he fasts for ten days. Yes.
