Is it permissible for a man to throw the three pillars on behalf of four women through agency, one of whom is performing her obligatory Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man performed Hajj a few years ago with four women, one of whom was performing her obligatory Hajj, and he threw the three pillars on their behalf through agency. Is there anything required of them? And if a sacrificial animal is required of them, where is it slaughtered? Where is it slaughtered? How is it distributed? Where is it distributed?

Answer:
Agency is permissible. Agency in throwing the pillars is permissible in the case of an excuse or a pressing need, if there is danger to them from the crowd, or if they are sick and unable to stone the pillars themselves. In that case, the agency is valid and the throwing is valid. However, if the agent was able to throw the stones and there was no excuse, then each woman owes a fidyah (ransom payment) to be slaughtered in Makkah, to be distributed in Makkah among the poor of the Haram. Yes.
