Some pilgrims are issued fatwas by the da'wah workers accompanying them in the group, stating that it is permissible to perform the stoning of the pillars before the sun reaches its zenith. What is the guidance?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some pilgrims are issued fatwas by the da'wah workers accompanying them in the group, stating that it is permissible to perform the stoning of the pillars before the sun reaches its zenith.

Answer:
This is not permissible, and this fatwa is an error. They have not been authorized to issue fatwas; they have not been given permission to issue fatwas. Fatwa has a specific authority to which people go. These are important matters, and everyone issues fatwas in them and plays with them, and they change people's acts of worship with these fatwas. They should urge them to fear Allah, urge them to obey Allah, and urge them to remember Allah, but as for fatwas, they should leave them to those qualified to issue them. Yes. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. They should urge them to prayer, urge them to obedience. Well, that is fine. Yes.
