Question:
She says: I performed my obligatory Hajj, but I did not throw the first Jamarah. I was able to do so, but my mahram prevented me from doing it out of fear of the crowd. What is obligatory for me, and may Allah reward you with good?
Answer:
If the appointment was made due to an excuse such as severe crowding, or if the woman is weak and unable to throw, then the appointment is valid. However, if there is no excuse, the appointment is not valid, and a fidyah (ransom payment) is required in place of throwing the Jamarah. If she has no excuse, is able to throw, is strong, and there is no crowding at the location, she owes a fidyah. But if there is an excuse, such as a crowded location, or if she is ill and unable to throw, then the appointment is sufficient, praise be to Allah. Yes.
