The questioner : Peace be upon you. I will tell you, I have a question regarding the stoning of the pillars. Is it permissible for a person to appoint someone who has not performed Hajj to stone the pillars for him?
The Shaykh : No, it is not permissible to appoint someone to stone the pillars, except if he is unable to stone them himself?
The questioner : Yes, either he is old or sick, yes. As for the crowd, he can go at night. Five, meaning five people, and one person stones the pillars for all of them. Yes, and then this person shortened it, he did not stone them completely, he shortened it. Let us say, yes, they slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) for each person in Makkah and distribute it to the poor.
The Shaykh : I tell you, it is not permissible for one person to appoint another to stone on his behalf. He must stone them himself, except if he is sick or old and unable to do so. And if he is able to stone them, and he fears the crowd, he stones them at night.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Did you understand? I said.
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
