Delaying the stoning to the last day

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Before he departs, or if he finds himself on the last day, is it permissible for him to delay the stoning to another day? Even if he comes on the two days to another day?

Answer:
It is permissible. This is allowed even if there is no crowd, because the time for the days of stoning is one single time, and it is permissible to delay it. However, his statement that there is a crowd on the twelfth day and no crowding is not correct. The crowding is at the beginning of the time. But if you come after 'Asr, you will not find a crowd, because the people have left and flown away, so there is no crowding after 'Asr. If he comes after 'Asr or before the sun sets, he will find the place spacious and without a crowd. We have tried this.
