The ruling on one who performed Hajj and appointed her husband to stone the pillars on her behalf due to severe crowding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sister Salihah Risham from the city of Hail sent a message saying: I am a woman who has been married for approximately three years, and I went to perform Hajj in the year 1407, knowing that it was my first year performing Hajj. She asks: Since I did not stone the pillars at all in this Hajj, because my husband said to me: “Appoint me to stone on your behalf,” so I appointed him out of fear of the crowd. Do I have anything to do? Please inform us, may you be rewarded. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: You owe nothing; because the severe crowding that poses a danger to the woman and to the weak is an excuse for appointing someone. And if the matter is unclear to you and you fear that there may have been negligence, then slaughter a sacrificial animal for leaving off the stoning. It is slaughtered in Makkah like the 'Id sacrifice, meaning: a head of sheep, a one-year-old sheep or a two-year-old goat, like the 'Id sacrifice, slaughtered in Makkah. You appoint a trustworthy person in Makkah to slaughter it on your behalf as a precaution for leaving off the stoning. However, if the crowd was severe and you were unable to stone and you appointed him, there is no blame on you, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Also, regarding approximately the same topic, she says: I also went to perform Hajj in the year 1409, and this Hajj was for my deceased mother. I stoned all the pillars except the last pillar due to the crowd, so I appointed my husband and he stoned it. I hope you will inform me, may Allah bless you. If I owe a blood sacrifice, is it permissible, or is there nothing wrong with appointing the husband? May Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh: There is no blame on you if the crowding was severe and posed a danger; then the appointment is permissible. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
