The Ruling on Delegating the Stoning of the Pillars on Behalf of the Sick, Women, and Children

Question: What is the ruling on delegating the stoning of the pillars on behalf of the sick, women, and children?

Answer: There is nothing wrong with delegating the stoning on behalf of the sick person and the woman who is unable to perform it, such as a pregnant woman, a heavy woman, or a weak woman who cannot stone the pillars. So there is nothing wrong with delegating on their behalf. As for the strong and active woman, she stones it herself. And whoever is unable to do it during the day after the sun passes its zenith, he stones it at night. And whoever is unable to do it on the day of the festival, he stones it on the night of the eleventh on behalf of the day of the festival. And whoever is unable to do it on the eleventh day, he stones it on the night of the twelfth on behalf of the eleventh day. And whoever is unable to do it on the twelfth day, or misses the stoning after the sun passes its zenith, he stones it on the thirteenth night on behalf of the twelfth day. And the stoning ends with the dawn.
As for during the day, one does not stone except after the sun passes its zenith on the days of Tashreeq.
