The questioner : Is it permissible to stone the pillars at a time other than the time of the Sunnah, or after Maghrib, for example, for those who fear the crowd, suffocation, and jostling, and for those who are unable to do so?
The Shaykh : During the days of Tashriq, the stoning of the pillars begins from the passing of the sun from its zenith, meaning from the time of the midday prayer until the dawn of the following day, except for the thirteenth day, which is from the passing of the sun from its zenith until sunset, because the days of stoning end with the sunset of the night of the thirteenth.
So the time, and praise be to Allah, is ample. We begin with the Pillar of Aqabah, and the Pillar of Aqabah is from the rising of the sun on the day of the festival until the dawn of the eleventh day. For those who fear the crowd and fatigue, it is from the last night of the Day of Sacrifice until the dawn of the eleventh day. This is the Pillar of Aqabah. The three pillars are on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days, for those who are delayed, from the passing of the sun from its zenith until the dawn of the following day, except for the thirteenth day, which ends with sunset.
