The stones that suffice for stoning and their purity

The questioner:
This questioner asks: Regarding the stones used for stoning, do cement pebbles suffice? And what about the stones that have been crushed by factories, since some people have said that they do not suffice? And is it required that the stones be pure?

The Shaykh:
All stones, as long as they are stones, suffice. Whether they are from a mountain, taken from the ground, or fallen from a mountain, they are all sufficient. As for cement, if it is confirmed to be stone, it suffices. However, it may be mixed with something that is not stone. One should take the known stones, take the known stones, and throw them. One does not throw cement, dung, gold, silver, or rings. One takes stones from the ground and throws them, and praise be to Allah.

The questioner:
The washing, he did not say about it.

The Shaykh:
And do not wash them, even if they are impure, they suffice. The condition is that they are pure, that you throw them as a sign of insulting the enemy of Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
