The direction of stoning relative to Mina and Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the recommended direction for stoning the small, middle, and large pillars to have Mina on the right and Makkah on the left?
Answer:
It is according to what is easy, unless you are forced to cross the barrier. If it is easy, it is better to face it from the direction of the House, with Makkah on your left and Mina on your right, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when it was easy. However, the Prophet did not order this, so there is no way to blame, thank Allah. From which direction are you stoning? Because the crowd does not allow people to move as they wish.
