Pre-Islamic customs in Hajj among some elderly women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There are some elderly women who have certain pre-Islamic customs. For example, in last year's Hajj, one of them would forbid another from stoning the pillars with pebbles, saying that there is a statement prohibiting it.And I explained it to her and said: It is permissible and has been reported from the Messenger, but there is a firm conviction that these are correct matters?
If you inform a person of the truth, you have absolved your responsibility. Then, if he is guided, it is for you and for him; and if he is not guided, it is for you and upon him.Because Allah said to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): [Al-Imran: 20] You have conveyed it. May Allah reward you with good for what you know of the truth. Then, if the one you conveyed it to accepts it, otherwise your responsibility is clear.
In it also: They take stones from Muzdalifah and believe that stoning the pillars is not valid except with stones, and this is a mistake. Taking stones from Muzdalifah is not a Sunnah. Take stones from any place.
Then, some of them also take stones and add pebbles to them, and forget and bring them to their country.Then he asks and says: Is it permissible for me to throw them on the ground? We explain to them that if you forget stones from the stoning in your pocket, throw them anywhere.
