Ruling on shortening the prayer for a pilgrim from Makkah in the sacred sites
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I performed Hajj about seven years ago. During the Hajj, I shortened the prayer with the imam, then I repeated it in full on my own. I stoned the pillars on all the days, from the Day of Sacrifice and the days after it, by throwing them at the middle pillar, which is the middle of the stoning area, thinking that it was the intended target for stoning. I do not know whether the stones fell inside the stoning area or outside of it. What is the ruling?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you, if the matter is as you described, to pay one expiation that suffices for the sacrifice. If you are unable to do so, you must fast for ten days, because in the situation you described, you are in the position of one who did not stone the pillars.
As for repeating the prayer in full after you prayed with the imam, there is no basis for that. It is obligatory to be content with the prayer with the imam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed with the people at 'Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina in shortened form, and he did not order the people of Makkah to repeat the prayer in full. And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab: 21], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage: .

There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌTake your rituals from me
خذوا عني مناسككم
