The Ruling on Women Delegating the Stoning of the Pillars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says that a man asked Your Eminence about the ruling on women delegating the stoning, and you answered that if the woman is accustomed to jostling with men, she should stone, and if she is delicate, she should delegate. Is this correct? I ask for clarification on the ruling regarding women delegating the stoning. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The default is that the woman stones just as the man does, if she is strong and able to stone. As for if she is frail and weak and unable to stone, and there is a fear for her safety, she delegates. Or if she is pregnant, or sick, or an old woman, these have a valid religious excuse. As for the strong woman, she stones at the appropriate time, whether in the day after the sun passes its zenith, or in the afternoon, or at night, at the suitable times, along with the men who are with her from her mahram (relatives one may not marry). Yes.
