The ruling on picking up the pebbles for stoning the pillars from Muzdalifah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Issue: Is it part of the Sunnah to pick up the pebbles for stoning the pillars from Muzdalifah?
No.
It is not part of the Sunnah; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order it, and the Companions did not do it during his time. However, some of the Salaf recommended it so that a person would not need to dismount from his mount when he arrives at Mina in order to pick up the pebbles and throw them. Their intention was to begin the stoning as soon as he arrives at Mina, because the pebbles would be with him. But this reasoning is actually broad. You should not do something that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do. When you arrive at Mina, they will make things easy for you, especially in our time now. In our time now, a mount cannot reach the pillar,Therefore: so you must walk. If you walk, the pebbles are everywhere on the ground; take them from anywhere. I have even seen in Ibn Hazm’s (may Allah have mercy on him) book of rites that when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the pillar to throw, he said to Ibn ‘Abbas: “Pick up the pebbles for me,” and he picked up the pebbles for him from near the pillar.
The important point is that it is not part of the Sunnah for a person to carry the pebbles from Muzdalifah.
