Guide to the Condition of the Pebble Falling into the Basin

The questioner:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we have heard from our scholars that if the pebble hits the pillar and then falls outside the basin, it is not valid. So the question is: what is the evidence for the obligation of it falling into the basin?

The Shaykh:
The basin is the place of stoning; it is not the pillar. The pillar is not a place for stoning; it was made only as a marker for the target. The stoning is in the basin. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned in the basin, and the Companions stoned in the basin. The pillar is not a place for stoning; it was made only as a marker for the Jamarat. If you see it from a distance, you will find your way to the Jamarat. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Some of the common people think that this is Iblis. They think the pillar is Iblis, so they hit it with anger and rage, thinking it is Iblis.
