The ruling on one who doubts whether the pebbles of the stoning reached the pillar

Question:
Muhammad from Riyadh, please ask your question. Peace be upon you. Peace and the mercy of Allah. I say, Shaykh, I have two questions. The first is: My mother, when stoning the pillars on the day of the festival, said that she was throwing from a distance, so she did not know whether the throw reached the required place or not? My mother throws at the pillars, but she is not sure whether it reached the pillar or not?

Answer:
If she is not certain, or if it is more likely in her mind that it reached the pillar, then this is not correct; her stoning is not valid. It is obligatory for her to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) in place of the stoning. She slaughters a fidyah in Makkah and distributes it to the poor of the Haram. Yes.
