What is stoned of the pillars, and the ruling on doubt in the stoning

Question:
There were some deviations in the stoning of the pillars, as I stoned the middle pillar on the day of 'Id from the rear, that is, in the Khurasanah, rather than the pillar itself, because I saw the pilgrims doing so. Also, I doubted the number of pebbles I threw at one of the pillars, either on the day of 'Id or on the last day of the days of Tashriq?

Answer:
As for stoning the middle pillar on the day of 'Id, this is not prescribed. Only the Jamrat al-Aqabah is stoned, which is the one closest to Makkah, the farthest from the direction of Makkah. This is stoned on the day of 'Id with seven pebbles. As for stoning the middle one, its existence is like its non-existence; you owe nothing for it, because the middle one is not stoned on the day of 'Id, nor is the far one from the direction of Mina, from the direction of the Musjid al-Khaif, stoned. Only the Jamrat al-Aqabah is stoned on the day of 'Id, which is the farthest one closest to Makkah. It is stoned on the day of 'Id with seven pebbles. If you did not stone it, or if you doubted your stoning of it, and you did not stone it afterwards, then you must sacrifice a sacrificial animal in Makkah for the poor. As for the other pillars, they are stoned on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days. All three are stoned: the Jamrat al-Aqabah, the middle one, and the far one. However, one starts with the far one from the direction of the Musjid al-Khaif. One starts with it on the eleventh day, then the middle one, then the Jamrat al-Aqabah closest to Makkah, which is the last. And so on for the twelfth day, and so on for the thirteenth day for the one who did not hasten. One stons all three, starting with the pillar closest to the Musjid al-Khaif, which is in the middle of Mina, then the middle one, then the Jamrat al-Aqabah at the end of Mina, which is from the direction of Makkah, and it is the last. This is for the three days: the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth. If you doubted the stoning of one of these three on the eleventh or twelfth day, if you hastened, then you must sacrifice a sacrificial animal: a one-year-old goat if it is from goats, or six months old if it is from sheep, meaning six months or more. It is sacrificed in Makkah for the poor. This is if the doubt occurred at the time of stoning. But if the doubt arose afterwards, and you had no doubt at the time of stoning, and the doubt came only afterwards, then you owe nothing. Doubt after the act of worship has no effect. But if the doubt was at the time of stoning, and you doubted and did not complete it, then you must sacrifice a sheep in Makkah, meaning a one-year-old sheep that has reached six months or more, or a two-year-old goat or more. It is sacrificed in Makkah for the poor on behalf of the pillar you doubted stoning. If the doubt was about one pebble, that does not harm; it is excused, if Allah wills. And if you did not hasten, and you stayed until the thirteenth day, and you did not stone some of the pillars on the thirteenth day, or you doubted their stoning at the time of stoning, and you did not fulfill the obligatory duty, but you were negligent, then you must, as mentioned before, sacrifice an animal to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor. But if the doubt was afterwards, after you had finished the Hajj, and a doubt arose in you afterwards, then this is not relied upon and is not considered. Rather, it is a void doubt with no value, and you owe nothing for it. Yes.
