Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, regarding a young man on his first Hajj, does he appoint an agent from among his group? And the third one? And what does it mean to appoint an agent? It means in the stoning, one of the companions with him?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible for anyone to appoint an agent for the stoning, ever, except a person who is unable to do it. As for one who is not unable, he must stone it himself.
The questioner : Yes, no, when a person is, meaning, tired and weak. Yes, yes, yes.
The Shaykh : Your first Hajj.
The questioner : I say he cannot walk.
The Shaykh : He cannot walk, but it is because of the crowd.
The questioner : In the crowd, he stones at night, my brother. He stones at night, and the night, praise be to Allah, is spacious and cool.
The Shaykh : Good, if Allah wills. Now, peace be upon you. Peace.
