Agency in stoning the pillars on behalf of one’s sister and wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: Is it permissible for me to appoint an agent to perform the stoning of the pillars on behalf of my sister and my wife, given that there is no excuse other than the crowd? And how do I perform the stoning in the case of appointing an agent for them?
Answer:
If they are strong, they should throw the stones themselves, even at night. As for if they have an ailment, you throw for yourself, then for them, seven by seven: seven for yourself, then seven for your wife, then seven for your sister. Or you alternate, each one throwing, so seven by seven. If Allah has excused them, they throw with their own hands, and there is no crowding; they do not fear, and they throw at night. The crowding is not [an issue] at night; you throw at night, and the night is at the hour...
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
