The questioner : Yes, and there is the appointment of a proxy for women regarding the pillars because of the crowd, meaning there is no issue.
The Shaykh : Except that there is something not permissible for women to appoint a proxy for the pillars; they must stone them themselves.
The questioner : And the crowd.
