The Ruling on Stoning the Pillars for the Remembrance of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is an Egyptian resident in Riyadh. He says: Some people believe, Shaykh, that when they stone the pillars, they are actually throwing stones at Satan. Is this correct?

Answer:
No, that is not correct. Stoning the pillars is for the remembrance of Allah, as stated in the hadith:
Going round the House (the Ka'bah), running between as-Safaوإنما جعل الطواف بالبيت وبين الصفا والمروة ورمي الجمار
Sunan Abi Dawud 1888Da'if (Al-Albani)
for the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
