Is it valid to stone the pillars before the sun passes its zenith due to heavy crowds?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: During the days of Tashriq, when it was time to stone the pillars, the security forces were forcing the pilgrims to stone the pillars. The security forces. They are forcing the pilgrims. They are forcing them. The security forces were forcing the pilgrims to stone the pillars before the sun passes its zenith, and that was because of the heavy crowds. So what is the ruling for the one who stones before the sun passes its zenith?

Answer:
It does not suffice him; the ruling is that it does not suffice him. The security forces do not have the authority to act regarding the rites of Hajj, and they are acting on their own whim. So there is no stoning before the sun passes its zenith. Whoever stones before the sun passes its zenith, if the days of Tashriq have ended, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment); he slaughters a fidyah because he left an obligatory act of Hajj, since his stoning is not valid outside its proper time.
