Ruling on adding to the stoning of the pillars beyond seven
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman performed Hajj in a certain year, and afterwards, when stoning the pillars, she believed that it was necessary to stone the actual standing stone, not the basin or the courtyard. Due to the crowd, she could not see the pillar, so she threw an extra stone at all three locations, resulting in eight stones at each location. Does throwing the extra stone, which counts as the eighth in order, have any consequences, or is what she did valid?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If her throwing of the stones fell into the basin, that is sufficient, whether she hit the standing stone or did not hit the standing stone.
As for the extra stone, it does not harm her, but she should not intend to throw it except out of necessity, such as if she doubts whether she threw seven or fewer. In that case, there is no harm in throwing an eighth or ninth until she is certain that she threw the seven. However, if she knows that she threw seven, there is no need for the extra, and no basis for it. But it is obligatory to stone the standing stone.
The point is: stoning the basin. If she knows, or if it is more likely in her mind that the stone fell into the basin, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Does she have to pay an expiation or anything if she threw eight?
Answer: If she threw seven, that is sufficient, and the eighth is not needed. If it is more likely in her mind that the seventh reached the basin, that is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, and nothing is required of her. However, if she is in doubt and does not know, she must sacrifice a sheep, which is slaughtered in Makkah for the poor; because the one who is in doubt has not fulfilled the obligatory act. Yes.
The presenter: Allah is the Helper.
