Stoning the Pillars on Behalf of a Pregnant Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: During our Hajj last year, my wife was with her infant. I stoned the pillars on her behalf out of fear for her and her child. This was her obligatory Hajj, and we feared the crowds for them. Is there anything required of us?

Answer:
You owe nothing if you did it on her behalf due to the fear of the crowds. The crowds are present, and you feared for her, or she had a child or children who needed her to stay with them. This is a valid excuse in the Shari'ah. So if you stoned the pillars on her behalf, that suffices, with the permission of Allah. Yes.
