Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, there is a man who performed Hajj; is it permissible for him to appoint a proxy the first time? He appoints someone with money. He appoints a person to do the stoning, may you live long.
The Shaykh : May peace be upon you. It is not permissible for a pilgrim to appoint a proxy for any part of the rites, neither for the stoning of the pillars nor for anything else, whether it is an obligatory rite or a voluntary one. That is fine.[Al-Baqarah 2:196] And the stoning of the pillars is part of Hajj.
The questioner : And if, may you live long, he is unable to do it.
The Shaykh : As for if he is unable, then he appoints someone to stone on his behalf, and there is no blame on him, whether in the obligatory rite or in the voluntary one. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, may you live long.
The Shaykh : Due to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:16].
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, may you live long, goodbye.
The Shaykh : May Allah welcome you.
The Shaykh : May peace be upon you. It is not permissible for a pilgrim to appoint a proxy for any part of the rites, neither for the stoning of the pillars nor for anything else, whether it is an obligatory rite or a voluntary one. That is fine.
