Ruling on stoning the Jamrat al-Aqabah at night

Question:
Is it permissible to stone the Jamrat al-Aqabah at night, meaning on the night of 'Id al-Adha after departing from Muzdalifah to Mina at night? And what is Your Eminence’s comment on the authentic hadith, which is the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to the young men of Banu 'Abd al-Muttalib ? The answer.

Answer:
It is better for the strong to stone the Jamrat al-Aqabah on the day of 'Id after the sun has risen, following the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and acting upon the aforementioned hadith. As for the people of weakness, namely the weak ones, it is permissible for them to do so in the latter half of the night, based on hadiths reported on this matter, including the hadith of Umm Salimah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she stoned the pillar before Fajr. Abu Dawud narrated it with a sound chain.
And what al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from 'Abdullah, the freed slave of Asma', that she descended at the night of Jumu' at Muzdalifah, so she stood to pray, and she prayed for a while, then she said: "O my son, has the moon set?"
I said: "No," so she prayed for a while, then she said: "Has the moon set?" I said: "Yes." She said: "Then depart." So we departed and proceeded until she stoned the Jamrat al-Aqabah, then she returned and prayed Fajr at her lodging. I said to her: "O my lady, it seems to us that it has become dark." She said: "O my son, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted the women to depart." As for the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding stoning after the sun has risen, some scholars of knowledge have weakened it due to a break in its chain. And even assuming its authenticity, it is to be understood as indicating recommendation and preference, in order to reconcile the hadiths reported on this matter, as al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) pointed out. And Allah knows best.
