The questioner : The senders say: We are a group of pilgrims who stoned the three pillars on the days of Tashriq in the morning before the sun passed its zenith. What is required of us?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. As for what follows, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj with the people in the tenth year and ordered them to take their rituals from him, for he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the leading teacher and guide, and he is the one who must be followed.[Al-Ahzab 33:21] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not stone the three pillars on the days of Tashriq except after the sun had passed its zenith. Likewise, the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) would wait for this time and would not stone except after the sun had passed its zenith. I am not aware that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to anyone to stone before the sun passed its zenith on such days.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Therefore, their stoning took place outside its proper time, meaning before the time. If an act of worship is performed before its time, it does not suffice.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Especially since it was easy for them to ask, as there are many scholars there. If they had asked even the lowest student of knowledge, he would have informed them of what is required of them in this matter. Thus, their action is considered as leaving it off, as if they had not stoned on these three days.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Accordingly, it is obligatory for them, according to what the scholars said regarding one who leaves an obligatory act of Hajj, to pay a fidyah, meaning to slaughter a sheep in Makkah, which they distribute to the poor and do not take any of it for themselves.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because it is in the position of an expiation.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And with this, their Hajj is completed, if Allah wills.
The questioner : If Allah wills. Their second question says:
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. As for what follows, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj with the people in the tenth year and ordered them to take their rituals from him, for he (peace and blessings be upon him) is the leading teacher and guide, and he is the one who must be followed.
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.
لقد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة لمن كان يرجو الله واليوم الأخر وذكر الله كثيراThe questioner : Yes.
