Permissibility of stoning the pillars at night
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
ً
A question from some of the Companions to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding his statement: (I stoned after it had become evening,So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: do so and there is no blame on you) concerning the stoning of the pillars and delaying it until night. In the language, "evening" is used for the time after the sun passes its zenith until the arrival of night. So how do we permit the stoning until before the dawn of the eleventh day?
Because His saying: (I stoned after it had become evening) This is a specific case that actually occurred, meaning a specific incident about which he was asked. There is no Sunnah here indicating that the time for stoning ends when the sun sets. The original ruling is that the time remains, just as we said regarding standing at 'Arafah, which extends until the dawn.
The questioner: O Shaykh! When returning to the language regarding "evening," it extends until the arrival of night.
The Shaykh: Yes, but did the Messenger say that no one should stone after the evening?This man is narrating a case that happened to him: After it had become evening,He said: There is no harm.
This indicates that this act of worship is not restricted to the daytime. And if it is not restricted to the daytime, then the entire night is a time for it.
