Permissibility of stoning the pillars once if there is a pressing need
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The honorable Shaykh! Some people hold that the stoning of the pillars for the days of Tashriq can be combined into one, and that one should throw (62) or (63) pebbles on the thirteenth day. What is your opinion?
We hold that this is the opinion of some scholars: There is no harm in combining them on the last day, but the correct view is that it is not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to throw the pebbles each day on that day, unless there is a pressing need.For example: For example, if a person’s lodging is far away at the edge of Mina, and it is difficult for him to go back and forth every day, then there is no harm in combining them. However, he should throw the three pebbles for the first day, then return and throw the three pebbles for the second day. The evidence for the permissibility of this in case of pressing need is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to camel herders to combine the stoning of two days into one day.
