The obligation of one who is able to throw the pebbles: he does not delegate to anyone, and it is not permissible to be negligent in this matter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : I say, if you would be so kind, I would like to ask a question.

The Shaykh : All right.

The questioner : My mother performed Hajj, I mean, she heard the call, I mean, it was her first Hajj, yes, and what happened is that she did not throw the pebbles.

The Shaykh : There is no record of her throwing.

The questioner : Yes. I mean, she threw all the last ones, she left some to throw and was unable to.

The Shaykh : Okay. Did she delegate or not?

The questioner : She arrived but was unable to.

The Shaykh : I say she delegated.

The questioner : Yes, in the last one, the last thing.

The Shaykh : And the one before that, she did not delegate.

The questioner : No, the throws are the same throws.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : In the first ones, she threw.

The Shaykh : And the next one, Hajj.

The questioner : First thing, she was unable, she reached the place and was unable.

The Shaykh : And she delegated, yes, this aunt, there is nothing on her.

The questioner : Okay, the second time, the men told the women not to enter, I mean, they prevented them, and she was unable to enter, and she delegated, does that count against her?

The Shaykh : The obligation is on the woman and the non-woman.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : If she is able to throw with her own hand, it is not permissible for her to delegate, and if there is a crowd, she throws at night, praise be to Allah, the matter is broad,

The questioner : but only with men who are with her, I mean, in whom they have confidence.

The Shaykh : For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit.

The questioner : We ask Allah.

The Shaykh : And out of mercy for his family, he allowed them to delegate, and he did not allow the shepherds to delegate,

The questioner : Okay, it does not count against her, the men with her prevented them, they said no, do not enter.

The Shaykh : And he let them throw with their own hands, and the shepherds, he let them throw one day after another, and what people are doing now

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : is that being negligent with the throwing and delegating is an error that contradicts the saying of Allah the Exalted
And complete the Hajj and 'umrah for Allahوَأَتِمُّوا الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ لِلَّهِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:196]
,

The questioner : Okay, this happens out of ignorance, because they did not know, I mean, we did not know that delegation is not valid except from your excellence.

The Shaykh : If your mother delegated out of ignorance, then if she is now wealthy and able to slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah and distribute it to the poor there, that is good, whether she goes herself or delegates someone to slaughter it in Makkah and distribute it to the poor, that is good, and if she does not have money, we ask Allah for her forgiveness and pardon

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
