Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: My mother performed Hajj and did not appoint an agent for stoning the pillars; rather, they were stoned on her behalf without appointment due to her physical weakness. Is there anything required of her?
Answer:
If she did not appoint an agent, did not stone them herself, and did not appoint someone to stone on her behalf, then a fidyah (ransom payment) is required of her in place of the stoning. She slaughters it in Makkah and distributes it to the poor, because it is not permissible to stone on behalf of anyone except by their appointment, except for a child who does not understand, for whom his wali (guardian) stones on his behalf. As for a woman or an elderly person who intends and is capable of forming the intention, it is obligatory that he appoint an agent. Yes.
