Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on delaying the stoning of the pillars until the third day of the days of Tashreeq, out of fear of the crowd and inability to do so?
Answer:
The Sunnah is to hasten. The Sunnah is as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned on the day of 'Id and the days of Tashreeq; the Sunnah is to hasten. If one stoned on the day of 'Id and was unable to do so, he may stone at night, and there is no blame on him according to the correct view, from after the sun sets until the end of the night, if he was unable to do it in the daytime or was prevented by an obstacle. Likewise, it may be difficult for women during the day, so they stone at night. Do not delay past sunset; this is the Sunnah. And if one delays, it suffices him with the intention; it suffices him with the order and the intention. If he delays it to the twelfth or thirteenth day of 'Id and then orders it by intention, that is permissible according to a group of scholars, but leaving it is better. What one should do is adhere to the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) practiced, even though all of them are days of stoning. However, it is better for the believer to make things easy for himself with the dispensations and to focus on the stoning on the day of 'Id or the pillar, then slaughter his sacrificial animal, then shave or shorten his hair, and shaving is better as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. Likewise on the eleventh day, the three pillars: he starts with the one that follows the horse's position, then the middle one, then the Jamrat al-Aqabah is the last one that he stones on the day of 'Id, so it is the last one. And so on the twelfth day, then he may hasten before sunset if he wishes, and if he prefers to delay, he delays until the nineteenth day and stones after the sun passes its zenith before the sun sets on the thirteenth day. All the stoning is before the sun sets on the thirteenth day, because it is the last of the days, from after the sun passes its zenith until the sun sets. Yes.
