Question:
A woman asks: I performed my first Hajj, and I had a small child with me. My uncle stoned the pillars on my behalf while I was in perfect health, due to the crowd and because I had a child with me. Is this Hajj valid or not? If it is not valid, what is obligatory for me?
Answer:
The Hajj is valid, praise be to Allah. One who has children appoints someone to stone the pillars on her behalf, as does the sick person, the elderly person who is unable to do so, and the like. There is no harm in this, because there is a crowd for the stoning. So the one who has weakness, or who has children, or who is pregnant, or who is elderly, appoints an agent, and there is no harm.
