The ruling on one who stoned the pillars before the sun passes its zenith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
I performed Hajj once, and due to the crowd at the stoning area on the second day of the days of Tashriq and the crowd in the Haram during the farewell tawaf, I stoned at exactly 10:45 AM, which was on the day of early departure. Is this stoning valid? I slaughtered my sacrificial animal intending it as compensation for the error in the ritual, since I entered the state of ihram for Hajj only. If the stoning is not valid, what is required of me?
Answer: Stoning before the sun passes its zenith is not valid on any day other than the Day of Sacrifice. On the Day of Sacrifice, there is no harm. As for stoning on the days of Tashriq before the sun passes its zenith, it does not suffice, because it is contrary to the Shari'ah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned after the sun passed its zenith and said:
Take your rituals from meخذوا عني مناسككم
And his Companions also stoned after the sun passed its zenith. Acts of worship are based on divine legislation, not on personal opinion. So whoever stoned before the sun passed its zenith, his stoning is not valid, and he owes a sacrificial animal for the obligatory act he left. If you slaughtered the animal intending it for the obligatory act you were required to perform but did not understand, it suffices for this stoning, provided you intended it for what was required of you. You owe nothing except for this stoning; nothing else occurred on your part that requires a sacrificial animal. The animal you intended for the deficiency in your obligation suffices for this, unless you have other deficiencies. Every obligation requires what is required for it. If you left another obligatory act, this sacrificial animal does not suffice for more than one. For example, if you left the overnight stay in Mina on the days of Mina, or left the overnight stay in Muzdalifah, these are two obligations, and you owe a sacrificial animal for each one. The result is that the sacrificial animal you slaughtered only suffices for one of the obligatory acts you left. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
