Agency in the Stoning of the Pillars on Behalf of a Sick Woman and an Elderly Person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A man died in a tunnel accident. He had two wives; one passed away, and the other is still alive. Is it permissible for me to perform the stoning of the pillars on behalf of the wife, since she is ill, and also on behalf of the elderly man and his wife?
Answer:
If they appoint you as their agent, and they are unable to do it themselves, there is no harm in it, whether it is the wife or anyone else. The one who is unable to do it himself is the one who can appoint you. May Allah reward you with good. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
