Delegating the stoning of the pillars out of fear of the crowd
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We have a woman who is over fifty years old. She has performed Hajj twice, and each time she performed it, she would appoint someone to stone the pillars on her behalf, even though she is capable of stoning them herself, but she does so out of fear of the crowd.
Answer:
She has become unable to do it and is afraid of the crowd, which means she is not able to delegate, correct? If Allah wills, there is nothing required of her. Yes.
