A woman appointing her son to perform the stoning of the pillars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to appoint her son to perform the stoning of the pillars, knowing that he is performing Hajj on behalf of someone else and not for himself? And are there specific words to be used in the appointment?
Answer:
If she is unable, then she appoints someone to do it on her behalf. Even if he is performing Hajj on behalf of others, or for himself, he stones for himself, for his appointer, for the person he is representing, and for his mother if she is unable, whether due to illness, old age, or a condition in her mouth that prevents her from throwing. He starts with himself, then stones for his appointer, throwing seven stones on his behalf because he is performing Hajj for so-and-so. Then he throws seven stones for his mother, one by one, and says Allahu Akbar with every stone, at every throw. Yes.
