Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the jamrah a piece of fire? And why is it called the jamarat?
Answer:
The jamrah, my brother, is a small pebble. The jamarat are small pebbles, not a jamrah meaning fire. Rather, it is a small pebble. A small pebble is called a jamrah, and jamarat means small pebbles, because the jamrah is stoned with small pebbles. Yes.
