Stoning on the Thirteenth Day for Those Who Depart Early
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings, and may you be well every year. To proceed, my question is that I am a pilgrim performing Hajj alone (ifrad), and I have certain circumstances. I wish to depart early. Should I stone the pillars on the thirteenth day in advance along with the stoning of the twelfth day, or is it dropped from me? May Allah preserve you?
Answer:
If you depart early, you are not required to stone on the thirteenth day. The stoning on the thirteenth day is for those who remain and do not depart early; they stone after the sun passes its zenith. As for the one who departs early on the twelfth day, no further stoning is required of him; the stoning of the twelfth day is sufficient for him. The stoning on the thirteenth day is for those who delay, for those who remain. As for you stoning while you have not departed early—no, you stone on the twelfth day and that is sufficient. The eleventh day is the Day of Tashriq (Yawm al-Qur). And the first day of departure (al-Nafar al-Awwal) is for the one who stones after the sun passes its zenith, after the midday prayer; it is permissible for him to depart before the sun sets. He departs before the sun sets to Makkah or elsewhere, then he performs the farewell tawaf when he travels. And if the sun sets on him tomorrow, Wednesday, when he is to depart from Mina, he is required to stay overnight until he stones for the day of Thursday after the midday prayer, then he departs after the water.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
