A woman at the stoning of the pillars who was unable to stone because she was pregnant, and her father was with her so he stoned on her behalf; is there anything required of her?

The questioner : At the stoning of the pillars, I was unable to stone because I was pregnant, and my father was with me and he stoned on my behalf. Is there anything required of me?

The Shaykh : The stoning of the pillars, like the other acts of the pilgrimage, is obligatory for the capable person to perform himself, due to the saying of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He): It is not permissible for anyone to be lax in this, as some people do; you find them appointing someone to stone on their behalf, not out of inability to stone, but to avoid the crowd and the harm caused by it. This is a serious error. However, if a person is unable, such as a sick person or a pregnant woman, or something similar, he may appoint someone to stone on his behalf. This woman mentions that she was pregnant, and on this basis, there is nothing wrong with the stoning being done on her behalf, her obligation is discharged by it, and there is no blame on her, if Allah wills.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
