Stoning the Aqabah Pillar Before the Sun Rises
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on stoning the Aqabah Pillar before the sun rises, given that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave permission after the sun had risen, and given that some scholars say the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave permission to Asma’ bint Abi Bakr?
Answer:
Whoever stones before Fajr from among the weak and their followers has done nothing wrong, because the Messenger gave them permission. He permitted the weak to leave Muzdalifah at the end of the night. Umm Salama stoned the pillar before Fajr and then proceeded and poured out to Mina. Asma’ bint Abi Bakr said that a dispensation was granted to women in this matter; Muslim narrated this in his Sahih. So there is no harm in that. Yes.
As for the strong person whom Allah has spared, who is not among the weak, the best for him is to delay until he stones after the sun rises. This is because the Messenger stoned after the sun rose. So the best for the strong is that their stoning be in the late morning, or after Dhuhr, or after ‘Asr, meaning during the day after the sun rises. As for the hadith of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), this is a hadith with a weak chain of narration. However, the Sunnah in this matter is to stone after the sun rises, based on the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He stoned in the late morning (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
