Doubt in the stoning of the Jamrat al-Aqabah and repeating the stoning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner’s second question; as for his first question, it was about stoning on behalf of a woman with certainty, and he has been answered on similar matters more than once. In his second question, he says: I stoned the Jamrat al-Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice with eight pebbles, having doubt about it, then I took seven more pebbles and stoned it a second time to make sure whether my action was correct or not? Yes?
The Shaykh:
If you are certain that you have secured it, praise be to Allah. If there is less than doubt, you must go back until you are reassured that the stone reached the area, or that is the most likely case. If a person adds one or two pebbles for the sake of certainty, there is no harm until he is certain that he stoned with seven. If it is most likely that he reached the limit of the basin, praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good,
