Stoning the pillars before the sun reaches its zenith on the days of Tashriq
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many questions begin with this phrase: "We bear witness to Allah that we love you for the sake of Allah." This questioner asks: Is it permissible to stone the pillars before the sun reaches its zenith on the days of Tashriq?
Answer:
It is not permissible before the sun reaches its zenith, because this is something the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do, nor did his Companions. If it had been permissible, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified it for his Ummah. The fact that he waited until the sun had passed its zenith and did not stone before that, and his Companions were like him, waiting until after the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they would wait for the zenith. For us to come in the last times and say that it is permissible to stone before the zenith, and to innovate something for which there is no evidence, this is an error. This is an error and a correction of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The stoning on the day of 'Id, the stoning of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was before the zenith. So we stone before the zenith, not contradicting him. But on the eleventh or twelfth day, he did not stone before the zenith. So why do we contradict him? And stone before the zenith?
