Delaying the Stoning of the Pillars and the Method of Stoning

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling for one who delays the stoning of the three pillars until the last day, which is Thursday? And how does he stone them? Does he stone the small one, for example, with twenty-one pebbles, then the second, or does he stone the first with seven pebbles, then return, and so on?

Answer:
This is permissible according to some scholars. They said it is permissible to delay and then arrange them by intention to avoid the crowd. However, it should be avoided; one should stone each pillar at its proper time. This is the Sunnah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did. One stones the Jamrat al-Aqabah on a day other than the Day of 'Id, and on each day one stones the three pillars. This is what is prescribed. But if one delays, he arranges them by intention. If he delays, as a group of scholars said, he arranges them by intention. He starts with the Jamrat al-Aqabah and stones it with seven pebbles by intention, then returns and stones the three pillars, with seven pebbles for each by intention for the eleventh day. When he finishes them, he returns and stones them for the twelfth day, with seven pebbles for each by intention. When he finishes them, he returns and stones them for the thirteenth day by intention: the first with seven, then the middle with seven, then the Jamrat al-Aqabah with seven. It is necessary to arrange them this way: he starts with the Jamrat al-Aqabah first, and stones it by intention for the Day of 'Id. Then he stones the three pillars for the eleventh day, seven, seven, seven, until he completes them. Then he returns to the first pillar for the twelfth day and stones the first with seven, the second with seven, and the third with seven, like this. Then he returns to the thirteenth day as well and stones them like this. He combines them all. No, yes, in order.
