If one forgets to stone the pillars at their prescribed time, let him perform the stoning as a make-up whenever he remembers it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Now, if a person forgets to stone at that time, meaning he did not stone, for example, neither during the day nor at night, and he stoned, for example, two pillars and forgot to stone the third, and when he prayed the Fajr prayer the next day he said, "I forgot to stone the third," do we say, wait until the sun has passed its zenith, or stone it even if it is morning?

Answer : Yes, of course. Reader, yes, he must make it up even if he is in a state of ihram. Because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the greatest of acts of worship and the one most strictly bound by time, which is the prayer: "Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when?" When he remembers it. So if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said this regarding the prayer, whose time is fixed from such-and-such to such-and-such, and which is undoubtedly greater than the stoning and more severe, is that not so?
If it is made up whenever a person remembers it, then the stoning is the same. And on this basis, if a person came to us and said, "By Allah, I forgot to stone the pillar yesterday," and he came to us after the sun had risen that day and said, "I forgot to stone the pillar yesterday," what do we say to him? What do we say?
Stone it today in the morning, and there is no blame on you. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it." And you have now forgotten it, so pray it after you remember.
