Is it permissible to throw the jamarat (stoning the pillars) in reverse order, starting with the large pillar before the small one?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He says: What is the answer to what some people say, that if one reverses the order in stoning the pillars and starts with the large one and what follows it, he owes nothing; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only started with the small one because it was on his way, so it is not intended in the order?

Answer:
This is talk from one’s own opinion. This is talk from the opinion of the one who said it. This is refuted. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated it, and he said, “Take from me your rituals.” He started with the small one, then the middle one, then the large one. So we follow him (peace and blessings be upon him) and do not say that he started with it because it was on his way.
We say, as a matter of course, because this is the Shari'ah revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him). It is not permissible for these pretenders to knowledge, or half-pretenders, to come up with rulings from their own opinions. This is not permissible. They mislead people with them, saying things about Allah without knowledge, and they do not conduct themselves properly with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
