Is it valid to appoint someone to perform the stoning of the pillars on the twelfth day, and to perform the farewell tawaf and the tawaf of leaving together, and then remain in Makkah?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: An elderly man appointed his friend to perform the stoning of the pillars on his behalf on the twelfth day, and he performed the tawaf of leaving and the farewell tawaf as one tawaf after the afternoon of the twelfth day, out of fear of the crowds. Is his action valid, even though he remained in the Haram until after sunset?

Answer:
The problem is that a person performs Hajj and burdens himself with someone who plays with the rites of Hajj, advancing and delaying, saying, "I am afraid of the crowds." My brother, wait until the crowds thin out. Those who are chasing you, those who are following you, until you leave Makkah. Rest. When the crowds thin out, if it is a day or two later, do not burden yourself. You came from far away to perform Hajj and you play with the rites of Hajj, saying, "I am afraid of the crowds, wait, wait a day or two until the crowds disperse, then you perform the rites of Hajj at night or in the day, or in the opportunity. This is one aspect.
The second aspect is that it is not permissible for him to leave Mina until he has completed all the rites. So when he has completed the rites, he leaves Mina. Yes.
