The Order of Stoning for Oneself and for the One Entrusted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a man is entrusted with performing the stoning of the pillars on behalf of another person, does he first perform it for himself and then for the other person, or is it the other way around?
Answer:
He first throws the stones for himself at the first pillar, then throws them for the person he is representing at the same station. Then he goes to the middle pillar and throws seven stones for himself first, then throws seven more stones for the person he is representing. Then he goes to the large pillar and throws seven stones for himself, then throws seven more stones for his client at the same station, in order to remove hardship. Because if he were told to complete the stoning for himself first and then return to start over again amidst the severe crowds, that would cause hardship for the Muslims, even though some jurists say this.
This causes hardship for the Muslims, especially in these years and days of severe crowds. So, if Allah wills, there is no harm in him throwing the stones for one pillar for himself and then throwing them for his client at the same station.
