Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on one who threw at the Aqabah pillar but used a small piece of asphalt for the throwing instead of a stone? He says: Is his action valid? How? He says: What is the ruling on one who threw at the Aqabah pillar but used a small piece of asphalt to throw with?
Answer:
It does not suffice, it does not suffice. He still has a stone remaining. The throwing is done with a stone. It is not permissible to throw with iron, nor with wood, nor with glass. It is only the stone, specifically. The jamarat (pebbles) are the small stones, which are what is thrown with. So he has a stone remaining. He gives charity, he gives charity for it, and he does not return to doing such a thing. Yes.
