Doubt regarding the stones falling into the pool

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says that they should repeat the stoning of the pillars because we were not certain that the stones hit the wall, perhaps the wall or the basin.

Answer:
If he is not certain, he must do it. But if it is more likely in his mind that he hit it, praise be to Allah, he leaves off the stoning of Shaytan. But if he is certain, or it is more likely in his mind, that he did not hit it, in the case of doubt and hesitation, he should do it until it falls into the basin, so he takes the precaution. But if it is more likely in his mind that it hit, and then doubt comes after that, that is from Shaytan, and he does not act on it.
