The ruling on acting as a proxy for a woman in stoning the pillars due to the crowd
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Is it permissible to appoint a proxy for a woman to perform the stoning of the pillars and the tawaf of ifadhah because of the crowd?
In reality, if a person waits, the crowd may disperse. However, sometimes a person cannot delay and throw the stones immediately after the sun passes its zenith on the twelfth day. On this day, I see that he should take a proxy from the woman; because a woman, no matter who she is, even if she is young, cannot manage in such a crowd.Then how do we say: A person throws the stones while not knowing whether he will die or live.And in the authentic hadith: (No prayer in the presence of food) because the heart is disturbed, and the stoning is an act of worship.
So I see: That on the twelfth day, for those who hasten and do not delay until the afternoon prayer, he should take the stones of all the women with him and throw them; because we have witnessed a very serious matter. A woman is exhausted greatly, and her strength is less than a man's, and perhaps her abaya falls off. She tries to pick it up and gets trampled.
Last year, a man's belongings fell near the pillar, so he bent down to pick them up, and the people trampled him, and those behind him fell on him until twelve men died. The matter is not trivial, and you know that the oppression of people today is such that they have no faith, no conscience, and no common language either; the languages are different.Perhaps a person will crowd you due to the congestion and you will shout: "Move away from me, save me," so he thinks you are insulting him and increases his aggression. This is correct if they do not know the language.
