Continuation of the discussion on stoning the pillars and the farewell circumambulation.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The brevity of stoning before the sun reaches its zenith is due to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granting a dispensation to the weak, just as he granted them a dispensation on the day of the festival to stone before dawn, and the cause remains present, which is the crowding. In fact, it is more pressing in stoning the pillars during the days of Tashriq because the weather is hot. Nevertheless, he did not permit anyone to advance and stone before the sun reaches its zenith. Even on the twelfth day, which is the day of hastening, it is not permissible for anyone to stone before the sun reaches its zenith, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not stone except after the sun reached its zenith, and he said:
Take your rituals from me خذوا عني مناسككم
. However, if a person on the twelfth day hastens, gathers his belongings, loads them onto the car, and then heads toward Mecca intending to stone and stop, and there is crowding on the roads and crowding at the pillars, should he wait until night to stone and walk, or do we say: wait until night and stay until the third day? The answer is the former. As long as you have intended to hasten, departed, and were detained by the crowding, there is no blame on you to continue in your hastening even after the sun sets, even if you do not stone until midnight. Walk, and there is no blame, because it is true that you hastened in two days, but the excuse detained you.
Now. The last thing is the farewell circumambulation. When a person finishes Hajj and wants to return to his country, he does not depart until he performs the farewell circumambulation. The farewell circumambulation is waived for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding. I ask Allah the Exalted to prepare for the Muslims a pilgrimage that is accepted, a sa'y that is thanked, and a sin that is forgiven.
