Doubt in the stoning of the pillars

His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling for one who throws more than seven pebbles at the pillars out of fear that some of them did not fall into the basin?
There is nothing wrong with it. If a person doubts whether he threw seven or fewer, he should throw extra as a precaution until he is reassured that he has thrown seven pebbles that fell into the basin. The point is that the pebbles must fall into the basin, so a person should strive to be as close to the basin as possible.
