Agency in the Stoning of the Pillars for Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The professor says: On the twelfth day of the waiting period, and in the context of the hadith, I, my mother, and my sister agreed to the stoning of the small pillar, and I delegated to my sister the stoning of the small pillar, solely because of the crowd, and why did I come to the country? So, did I delay what I knew? And why did I come to the country?
Answer:
If the situation you described was due to the crowd and the danger to the women, there is no harm in delegating. As long as you stoned on their behalf, praise be to Allah. The agent takes the place of the principal when there is a need, and this is a need; the crowd is dangerous, which is a need for delegation. And are women not weak? As long as you stoned on their behalf in this situation, praise be to Allah. The stoning is valid, and they owe nothing.
