The ruling on stoning the Aqabah pillar before the sun rises on the Day of Sacrifice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I intended to perform Hajj on the eighth day in Mina, and I stood at 'Arafah, and I stayed overnight at Muzdalifah. However, after the Fajr prayer, we moved by car outside of Muzdalifah, and we stoned the Aqabah pillar before the sun rose. I shaved my hair, and after that I exited the state of ihram. I waited until after the 'Asr prayer, then I headed to the Haram for the tawaf. Do I owe anything for what I did?

Answer:
You owe nothing, nor do your companions. However, if you had delayed the stoning until after the sun rose, it would have been better. Otherwise, it is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. From the time of the night of the Day of Sacrifice, it is sufficient. But the best for the strong is to delay the stoning until after the sun rises, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. And whoever stones before that, it is sufficient for him, especially the weak among women, the elderly, and the sick. All of this is permissible.
As for the strong, the best for them is to delay the stoning until after the sun has risen on the day of the festival. This is the best. And whoever does it earlier, there is no blame on him, if Allah wills. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
