Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I performed Hajj with my wife, so I appointed my father [to stone the pillars for me]; because I was the driver of the car, and the crowd held me up on the first day of the festival until twelve o'clock at night, the middle of the night. As for my wife, she appointed [someone] to stone the pillars for her, and her excuse is that she has a small child with her, and our tent was far from the pillars. What is the ruling?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. You appointed your husband to stone the pillars for her because she has a child she fears for, and the place is far and she cannot walk with the crowds. There is nothing wrong with it; this is an excuse. It is permissible for her to appoint someone to stone the pillars for her because a woman is weak and she has a child with her. As for you, you stone the pillars, even if it is after the middle of the night. You stone the pillars, even if it is after the middle of the night, on the night of the eleventh. Whenever you are able, you stone the pillar, even at the end of the night. Yes.
