The Best Time for Stoning the Pillars for One Who Is with Women

The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the preferred time for stoning the pillars for a man who is with women, and he does not want them to be crowded by the men?

The Shaykh:
At night. We say at night. The night is for the previous day, and the day is for the next day. As for the last day, it must be during the day, after the prayer. On the last day, there is very little [crowding]. We have tried it for many years. On the last day, there is only what is there of crowds. On the last day, from Dhuhr to Asr, there is plenty of room.

Another questioner:
Can he stone with them, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
Pouring water is fine.

Another questioner:
Let him throw before them.

The Shaykh:
If they see him with them, there is no harm. If they see him before them, there is no harm. If they see him with them, there is no harm. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
