The Wisdom Behind Stoning the Three Pillars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it true that the wisdom behind stoning the three pillars is that they were the place where Satan obstructed Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he intended to sacrifice his son?

Answer:
What business do we have with this? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “They were established
tawaf of the House and the sa'y between Safa and Marwaالطواف بالبيت، والسعي بين الصفا والمروة
Muwatta Malik 20:52
, and stoning the pillars is for the remembrance of Allah. So this is a remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).”
