The questioner:
May Allah bless you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man performed Hajj, and when it came time to stone the Jamarat al-Aqabah, he was compelled to remain with his mother in the car because of her advanced age.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
A man performed Hajj, and when it came time to stone the Jamarat al-Aqabah, he was compelled to remain with his mother in the car because of her advanced age.
The Shaykh:
That is, he appointed someone to stone on his behalf. If his mother needed him to stay with her and he appointed someone to stone on his behalf, there is no harm, because this is an excuse that permits appointing a proxy.
The questioner:
He says: And he appointed someone to stone on her behalf, then he shaved his head and put on his clothes.
The Shaykh:
Yes, as we mentioned, if his mother needed him to stay with her, this is an excuse that permits him to appoint a proxy for the stoning. If he appointed someone to stone on his behalf and he shaved his head, he may put on his clothes, because he has performed the stoning and the shaving of the head. He then puts on his clothes for the first exit from the state of ihram. When he performs the circumambulation and the walking between al-Safa and al-Marwah, he exits the state of ihram completely for the second time.
