Ruling on breaking stones from Mina for pebbles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he says: Since we were unable to find small pebbles in Mina, we broke some of the stones that are part of the mountain into small pebbles, and some people criticized us for that. So what is the correct ruling, O Shaykh?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, and it is permissible as long as it is from Mina; it is permissible even if broken. However, the questioner’s statement that they did not find pebbles in Mina is not the reality, for Mina is full of pebbles. Second, it is not necessary to take the pebbles from Mina; rather, it is permissible to take them from Muzdalifah, from the road, or from Mina. The matter is broad in this regard.
