Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : Regarding, O Shaykh, throwing the large Jamrah (Jamrat al-Aqabah), if a person throws it from the side where there is no basin, is it necessary for him to repeat it?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. The large Jamrah, which is Jamrat al-Aqabah, has a basin on every side.
The questioner : Now?
The Shaykh : There is a basin on every side.
The questioner : But, O Shaykh, there is only one side.
The Shaykh : No, no, from every side, yes. You did not realize this; it is from every side.
The questioner : At the bottom.
The Shaykh : At the bottom, yes, at the bottom. May Allah reward you. From every side, because the pillar present does not cover the entire area; in half of the area, its sides to the right and 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, rolls, and exits the basin while you are watching, there is no harm.
The questioner : ... O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Regarding the warning for concealing knowledge, is the warning for concealing religious knowledge?
The Shaykh : The warning for what?
The questioner : For concealing religious knowledge. Does it also apply to worldly knowledge, considering that revealing some worldly knowledge might lead to harm?
