Delaying the stoning of the pillars until the last day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible to delay all the stoning of the pillars, except for the Jamrat al-Aqabah, until the thirteenth day, and to throw twenty-one pebbles at each pillar if there are women with us? I ask for clarification on this and what is best in this matter?

Answer:
This is not recommended. Some scholars have permitted it, but it is not recommended. The pillars are to be stoned at their prescribed times: seven on the Day of 'Id, twenty-one on the eleventh day (seven for each pillar), the same for the twelfth day, and the same for the thirteenth day. One should not delay them. Even if some scholars say it is permissible, we say there is no evidence for it. What is recommended for the believer is to stone them at their times: only seven on the Day of 'Id, twenty-one on the eleventh day (seven pebbles for each pillar), and the same for the twelfth day. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and all of it is after the sun passes its zenith. If one does not hasten, then on Thursday he stones them with twenty-one as well, after the sun passes its zenith, if he has not hastened. Yes.
