What is the ruling on one who throws the jamarat outside the basin due to the crowd, and does he have to repeat his Hajj?

Question:
The sister from Riyadh says: I performed the obligatory Hajj, and during the stoning I threw, but I was unable to throw the pebble into the basin because of the crowd. So, do I have to repeat my Hajj, or what should I do? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the pebble did not fall into the basin, it is not sufficient and the stoning is not valid. The one who does that must slaughter a fidyah (ransom payment) in Makkah and distribute it to the poor of the Haram. His Hajj is valid, if Allah wills. However, he slaughters the fidyah as compensation for leaving the obligatory stoning. This fidyah must be of the type that is acceptable for the udhiyah (sacrifice) in terms of age and freedom from defects, and other things that invalidate the udhiyah. It is not permissible to slaughter it except in Makkah, and it is distributed to the poor of the Haram, and he does not eat any of it.
