The direction of stoning the pillars and standing for supplication after the two pillars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: How is the recommended direction when stoning the pillars? Is it with Makkah on the left and Mina on the right?
The Shaykh:
He should stone as is easy for him; he stones whatever is easy for him, and praise be to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned on the day of the festival from the Jamarat al-'Aqabah, facing it and placing the House of 'Aysar on his left. If this is easy, it is the best, as it is the position of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, it is not a condition; he may stone from any direction, because the crowd and the large number of people prevent a person from seeking the Sunnah in such a situation. If it is easy for him to stone as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, that is better; otherwise, stoning from any direction is sufficient. May Allah pray upon him and grant him peace.
The questioner:
And he says.
The Shaykh:
It is recommended to stand at the first pillar and supplicate, and to supplicate at the second pillar during the days of Tashriq. This ends the day; this is the end of it, and it is the second day of Tashriq. So the Sunnah is that when he stones the first of the three pillars, he moves forward in front of it, places it on his left, and supplicates while raising his hands. He supplicates for a long time, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. This is the Sunnah on the three days of Tashriq: the eleventh, the twelfth, and the thirteenth.
Another questioner:
On Wednesday.
The Shaykh:
He stones the first pillar, moves forward, places it on his left, raises his hands, supplicates, and faces the Qiblah. Then, when he stones the middle pillar, he does the same: when he stones it, he takes the left side, places it on his right, faces the Qiblah, raises his hands, and supplicates. As for the last one, the Jamarat al-'Aqabah, he does not stand at it; he stones it and leaves. This is how the Chosen One (peace and blessings be upon him) did it. And Allah says: "Indeed, there was for every messenger a prison of good deeds," and he says: This is the best.
Another questioner:
And the majority are on.
The Shaykh:
Even though it is a Sunnah, yes.
Another questioner:
The Sunnah for the Jamarat al-'Aqabah is to include the upper wall.
The Shaykh:
We found that the expansion was for the benefit of the people.
Another questioner:
But the basin is half, as it is.
The Shaykh:
The half does not change, the half does not
Another questioner:
A karamah from behind does not fall in the letters.
The Shaykh:
If you notice, if Allah wills, if you take the path that leads to the conditions of this basin, because it pours its circle, yes.
Another questioner:
Half of the basin's circle, the wall was removed from above.
The Shaykh:
This widens it for the people, the elderly or the scholars, to find expansion for the people, yes.
Another questioner:
So that it is easy for the spirit to reach all.
The Shaykh:
From all four directions.
Another questioner:
From the four directions.
The Shaykh:
But he seeks to ensure it falls in the half of the circle.
Another questioner:
In the basin, there is no basin behind, there is no basin in the back.
The Shaykh:
He seeks to ensure the stone falls.
Another questioner:
From one side only, because there is no basin behind, absolutely not.
The Shaykh:
Unless you observe that it fell.
Another questioner:
It hits the pillar and falls on the ground far away.
The Shaykh:
He strikes the pillar, he strikes the basin, he does not strike the pillar, yes.
