Breaking the large stone into small pebbles for stoning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to take a large stone and break it into small stones so that I can throw them?
Answer:
There is no harm in that, and there is no prohibition. Even if some jurists say it is not prescribed, there is no harm and no prohibition. However, if you find pebbles in the open areas, take from the open areas and do not burden yourself. The pebbles found in the valleys and on the roads are sufficient.
