The ruling on one who appoints another to stone the pillars and leaves Mina overnight due to illness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: During my performance of the obligatory Hajj, I fell severely ill with a high fever and severe shivering; this made it impossible for me to stone the pillars on the second and third days. However, I appointed someone to do it on my behalf. In addition, I did not stay overnight in Mina for the same reason. So, is there anything required of me? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the situation is as you described, then there is nothing required of you. Allah the Exalted says:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[Surat al-Taghabun: 16]. The agent acts in your place regarding the stoning. As for not staying overnight in Mina, if you left it due to inability or to go to the doctor, then there is nothing required of you, and praise be to Allah.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
