Question:
This questioner says: I have two relatives with me, and they went to Makkah yesterday and have not returned. I searched for them but have not found them to this day. Is it permissible for me to stone the pillars on their behalf?
Answer:
Do not stone on his behalf; he is entrusted to be stoned. And regarding the sin, if Jibril gave him [something], a Muslim stoned on his behalf. I seek Allah's forgiveness for me for what is entrusted with him, for he has no right to entrust it. Yes, do not stone on his behalf. We ask Allah for their well-being and safety.

May Allah reward you,
