The Ruling on a Woman Appointing Her Guardian to Stone the Pillars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The presenter says: Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible for a woman to appoint her guardian to stone the pillars on her behalf? This is in cases of illness, whether it is a minor or major illness, especially in these times when the crowds are heavy.
The Shaykh:
Appointing someone is for an excuse. If she has an excuse, she appoints someone, because she is ill, or advanced in age, or pregnant and fears for her pregnancy, or the crowd is severe and she cannot handle the jostling, or there is danger to her from the jostling, she appoints someone. So, the appointment is only for an excused person. This applies to men and women. Yes.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
As for the one who is strong enough to stone the pillars himself, whether he is a man or a woman, is it permissible for him to appoint someone? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
