Question:
He also asks: If one is unable to stay overnight in Mina on the first night of the days of Tashriq, does he stone the pillars on the first day of Tashriq? And likewise, if one is unable to stay overnight on the first two nights, is he permitted to stone the pillars for both days on the second day of Tashriq?
Answer:
Stoning the pillars is an independent act of worship, and staying overnight is an independent act of worship. It is obligatory for the pilgrim to do both. The pilgrim must stay overnight in Mina on the eleventh night, and on the twelfth night if he hastens. If he does not hasten, he stays overnight on the thirteenth night as well. He must stone the pillars on all the days: the Day of 'Id, the eleventh, and the twelfth if he hastens. He must stone them on the thirteenth and the fourteenth if he does not hasten. If he leaves off staying overnight for an excuse, such as water carriers, shepherds, a patient who needs a hospital and transport to it, or someone similar who has an important occupation that prevents him from staying overnight, there is no blame on him. Likewise, stoning is independent. If it is easy for him to stone on the Day of 'Id and on the three days, doing everything in its proper time, that is a recommended practice and the best. He should stone the Pillar of 'Aqabah on the Day of 'Id during the day; that is the best. If he stones it at the end of the night, like the weak, it is sufficient according to the correct view.
And likewise, on the eleventh day, he stones them after the sun passes its zenith during the day. If that is difficult for him, he stones them at night on the twelfth night for the eleventh day, according to the correct view. The issue is disputed regarding the night, but this is the stronger position. It is permissible to stone after the sun sets until the end of the night, following the day that precedes it. And likewise, on the twelfth day, he may stone during the day, which is the recommended practice after the sun passes its zenith. If that is difficult for him, he stones after sunset for the thirteenth night, and that is sufficient for him according to the correct view. He must stay overnight on the thirteenth day because the evening overtook him and he did not hasten.
It is not permissible to stone at all before the sun passes its zenith on the three days. This is because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned after the sun passed its zenith on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth. He said: What is narrated from some of the Salaf regarding dispensation and stoning before the sun passes its zenith, and what some of the later scholars issued as rulings, is all erroneous. It is not permissible to follow it. Rather, one must adhere to what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions did, which is stoning after the sun passes its zenith. However, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify the end time, and he did not say, "Do not stone after the sun sets." Therefore, from this, it is permissible to stone after the sun sets to expand the scope for Muslims. This is because the number of people is large and the time between the sun passing its zenith and sunset is short. For this reason, the opinion of those who said it is permissible to stone after sunset until the end of the night, following the day that precedes the night, is stronger. Yes.
Question: He also asks: If one enters the state of ihram for 'Umrah from his miqat and then exits the state of ihram.
The Shaykh: From the completion of the first question: If he delays the stoning, delaying the stoning of the eleventh to the twelfth, then he arranges them by intention after the sun passes its zenith. Or if he delays the twelfth to the thirteenth and arranges them by intention, stoning the first day completely with his intention, then stoning the following day completely with his intention, there is no blame according to a group of scholars. However, stoning everything in its proper time is more preferable and better. The one who is unable to stone appoints a proxy, just as stoning is done on behalf of children due to their inability. Likewise, stoning is done on behalf of old women, old men, the sick, and those similar to them for whom stoning is feared, due to the pushing and crowding that occurs. Yes.
