The ruling on stoning the pillars before the sun reaches its zenith on the twelfth day and the farewell circumambulation

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I and my mother performed Hajj this year, and we heard a fatwa from some students of knowledge that it is permissible to stone the pillars on the twelfth day before the sun reaches its zenith. So we stoned the pillars and performed the farewell circumambulation before the sun reached its zenith. He says: What is the ruling on our Hajj in that case?
Answer:
We answered this last night. We said that stoning the pillars before the sun reaches its zenith is not permissible during the days of Tashriq, as its time has not yet entered, just as one who prays before the time has entered. The time for stoning the pillars begins when the sun reaches its zenith, which is the time for the midday prayer that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would wait for and anticipate, he and his Companions, and they would not stone until the sun reached its zenith. He would stone before praying the midday prayer; he would stone and then pray the midday prayer, peace and blessings be upon him. So this is the time for stoning. Whoever anticipates the zenith is doing it outside its time, so it is not valid. Consequently, he owes two expiations: one for stoning outside its time, and one for the farewell circumambulation, because the farewell circumambulation is not to be done except as the last thing, and he still had the stoning after the zenith remaining. So he owes an expiation for stoning before the zenith, and for the farewell circumambulation, because he performed it outside its time. Yes.
And this is the result of a person asking someone he does not trust, whether from the ignorant or from those who are lenient. Yes.
