There is no problem in stoning the pillar from all directions after the previously blocked wall was removed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Many young people have studied our statement regarding the Jamarat al-Aqabah, that it is stoned from all directions, because we said that the pebble must fall in the basin on the Makkah side, and it is no longer stoned from all directions. If we said that the pebble must fall in the basin from one side only, what did that cause?
The Shaykh : How did you benefit from the basin? Can you now visualize the basin or not?
The questioner : Come, visualize it with this section always.
The Shaykh : But from the side where there is no circle, is it blocked or not? It was blocked at first; there was a standing wall at first, and no one could stone from the back. Now they have demolished it, and all that remains in front of you is the pillar that marks the place of stoning.
The questioner : Nothing has changed.
The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah.
The questioner : Certainly, I do not think it is a second side.
The Shaykh : I used to think you were smarter than this. Now draw a semicircle for you and put a pillar in the middle of it. Look at the two sides of the pillar: is it open or not open?
The questioner : You are getting big, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : But it is not the size of the basin. The basin requires something or more.
The questioner : I mean, O Shaykh, the wall on the eastern side has been removed now, meaning it is on the body.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, minister.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : From all directions. We stone it from all directions, and there is no problem. I advise you, if Allah wills, to take a 'Umrah these two days, because there is no one at the jamarat and you will see.
The questioner : We did not think it was an adornment.
The Shaykh : Yes, but praise be to Allah, you do not say it like that. It was removed. Now there is only the pillar that was placed on the place of the sand.
The questioner : We visualize around it only, O Shaykh, meaning it is not extended.
The Shaykh : Now see, if your visualization now matches our visualization, or otherwise, witnessing it in person is the best of all.
