Is it permissible to combine the stoning of the pillars on the thirteenth day?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : May Allah bless you and your knowledge. Some people hold that the stoning of the pillars for the days of Tashreeq can be done all at once, and that one should stone on the fourteenth day.
The Shaykh : The fourteenth day.
The questioner : On the thirteenth day, one stones on the thirteenth day sixty-two or sixty-three pebbles. What is your opinion, O honorable one?
The Shaykh : Our view is that this is the opinion of some scholars that there is no harm in combining them on the last day. However, the correct view is that it is not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stone every day on that day, except if there was a pressing need, such as if a person’s lodging was far away at the edge of Mina and it was difficult for him to go back and forth every day. In that case, there is no harm in combining them, but he should stone the three for the first day, then return and stone the three for the second day. The evidence for the permissibility of this in cases of need is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted a dispensation to the camel herders to combine the stoning of two days into one day. Yes.
