Question:
He says: I went to perform Hajj, and praise be to Allah for that. Our departure was from al-Madinah to Makkah, and I was performing Hajj alone (ifrad). On the first day of the days of Tashriq, the eleventh day, I stoned the pillars in the morning, around six in the morning, when I saw the people stoning the pillars. I stoned them, and I did not know that the stoning must be after the sun passes its zenith. Then, in the remaining days, my stoning was after the sun passed its zenith. What is the ruling on what I did? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The stoning you performed on the eleventh day before the sun passed its zenith is not valid; because it was stoning at a time other than its prescribed time, and it is not permissible to bring forward an act of worship before its time. It is like praying before the time has entered. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not stone, nor did his Companions, on the days of Tashriq except after the sun had passed its zenith. They would wait for the sun to pass its zenith, and when it passed, they would stone the pillars. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Take from me your rituals of Hajjخذوا عني مناسككم
Among that is the stoning of the pillars. So, these pillars that you stoned on the eleventh day, and did not repeat afterwards in a valid manner, you must make up for them by slaughtering a fidyah. You slaughter a sheep that is acceptable as an udhiyah, or you take one-seventh of a camel, or one-seventh of a cow, and distribute it to the poor of the Haram. If you are unable to slaughter due to poverty, then you fast for ten days in any place. Yes.
