The Obligation of the Pebbles Reaching the Basin When Stoning the Pillar of 'Aqabah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding the stoning of the large pillar of 'Aqabah, if a person throws from the side where there is no basin, is it necessary for him to repeat it?
May Allah reward you. The large pillar, which is the pillar of 'Aqabah, has a basin on every side.
The questioner: Now?The Shaykh: It has a basin on every side.
The questioner: But, O Shaykh, there is only one side.
The Shaykh: No, no, it is on every side.
The Shaykh: You did not realize; this is on every side.
Interjection: At the bottom.
The Shaykh: At the bottom, yes, at the bottom—may Allah reward you—on every side; because the existing pillar does not cover the entire area in the half of the area, its sides from the right and the left are where it is thrown from, so if you come from behind the pillar and throw to the right of the pillar or to its left, you will hit the basin.
In any case: It is obligatory that the pebble falls into the basin from whichever side it is, even if it falls into the basin and rolls out of the basin while you are watching, there is no harm.
