The Ruling on Delegating the Stoning of the Pillars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Also, due to my exhaustion and illness, and because of the severe crowding, my husband was compelled to throw the large pillar of Aqabah on my behalf on the first day of the festival, because I tried to enter and throw the stones myself, but due to the heavy crowd, I was unable to enter the stoning area. So my husband threw the stones on my behalf. As for the remaining stoning on the second and third days, I threw the stones myself. I do not know whether what my husband did on my behalf, regarding the pillar of Aqabah on the first day of the festival, is permissible or not? And if that is not valid, what must I do for the stoning on my behalf to be sound? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the reality is that you delegated your husband because of your inability to throw the stones due to the severe crowding and danger, then the delegation here is valid, and praise be to Allah, and your husband’s throwing the stones on your behalf is sufficient due to the presence of a valid legal excuse? Yes.
