He says in his letter that he performed Hajj several years ago. He says, “After I arrived from Muzdalifah in one of the years, I stoned the first pillar, then the second, then the third, because I was not sure which of the pillars was which.”

The questioner : This listener did not mention his name, only a code. He says, “N M N.” He says in his letter that he performed Hajj several years ago. He says, “After I arrived from Muzdalifah in one of the years, I stoned the first pillar, then the second, then the third, because I was not sure which of the pillars was which. So, is there anything required of me in that? I say, I do not know which of the pillars is the first pillar, so I do not know which of the three is the first pillar. So I said, should I get rid of all of them?”

The Shaykh : There is nothing required of you in this.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : However, I advise you to seek knowledge of them before the action, so that your action is done correctly.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : But with this, by your action, you have certainly stoned the first pillar.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes.
