Stoning the Pillars on Behalf of Women After Delegating the Task
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I went yesterday to stone the pillars, and I was with four women, some of whom were elderly, some were travelers, and some were young. This was after the 'Asr prayer. When I saw the crowd, I asked them to delegate the task to me, so I stoned on their behalf after they delegated it to me. Do I owe anything for that, whether in terms of a right or a prayer?
Answer:
We were in a situation where there was no illness, no excuse, and no young girls who had not reached puberty that we were carrying. There is no harm in that. Otherwise, they should repeat the stoning today. They should repeat it today after the Zuhr prayer, or after the 'Asr prayer, or after the Maghrib prayer, for yesterday. Then they stone for today’s right. You fulfill today’s right. And if they are weak, or rather elderly and unable, then there is no harm.
The presenter:
Did Allah inform you?
