Agency in the Stoning of the Pillars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: My wife performed the obligatory Hajj accompanied by her son, who is 24 years old. They both appointed one of their relatives to perform the stoning of the pillars on their behalf, and their agent
performed the stoning of the pillars. Please note that they did not stone the first pillar (Jamarat al-Aqabah). Is it permissible for them to appoint an agent to stone all the pillars, or is it not? And do they have to pay an expiation? Please note that the wife is unable to stone the pillars due to her incapacity, and her son also suffers from asthma. I hope for your guidance.
A: If the two principals are unable to stone the pillars themselves and they appointed someone to stone them on their behalf, and the agent performed the stoning on their behalf in the manner prescribed by the Shari'ah after having stoned for himself, then it suffices for them regarding the Jamarat al-Aqabah and the others.
