Agency in stoning the pillars due to congestion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I am a person who appointed another person to stone the Aqabah pillar on my behalf because of the circumstances that I am the driver of the car, and the security authorities prevented me from parking the car, and I remained in the traffic congestion for a long period,
Another questioner:
and my colleague got out and stoned for himself and for me. What is the ruling in that? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
This is not sufficient, it is not an excuse. The congestion goes away, it ends, and you go and satisfy your own soul. This is not sufficient, it is not an excuse. When the congestion is gone, you go and satisfy yourself, even if it is at night. We resolve it by saying it is sufficient until after Maghrib. This night is the night of the first day of the days of Tashreeq. Many people depart tomorrow after stoning the pillars in the afternoon. They depart from Mina to Makkah for the farewell tawaf and travel. And may Allah grant you success.
