Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is a woman, in all cases, permitted to appoint an agent for stoning the pillars?
Answer:
A woman and anyone else who is unable to stone the pillars, or for whom it is difficult, may appoint an agent. As for the one who is able, it is obligatory for him to perform the stoning himself, because it is an act of worship that he must perform directly.
