The ruling on delegating the stoning of the pillars to another out of fear of the crowd

Question:
After this, a message reached the program from one of the listening brothers, asking a collection of questions. It appears that the sender of the message is one of the listening sisters. She says, "Umm 'Abadah from al-Muzaymiyah asks and says: I performed the obligatory Hajj five years ago, but I only stoned on the first occasion, meaning: I stoned on the night of the festival before the dawn, because we left Muzdalifah after midnight out of fear of the crowd. Then I threw the pebbles, and I do not know whether they fell into the pit or missed it and did not fall. At that time, the crowd was severe, and I was ignorant at that time that it is obligatory for the pebbles to fall into the pit."
She continues the question—may you please, Your Eminence the Shaykh—saying: "Also, I did not stone on the second and third days, but rather I delegated my brother to stone on my behalf, and that was only out of fear of the crowd. Also, I was ignorant that it is upon the woman to stone with her own hand and not delegate except in her inability to do so. Please inform me what is obligatory upon me regarding my stoning of the pebbles when I did not know whether they were falling into the pit or missing it? And what is obligatory upon me regarding my delegation of my brother to stone on the second and third days? Is it obligatory upon me to pay a ransom or what? May Allah reward you with good."
Answer:
You owe one sacrificial animal for all of that: for leaving the stoning on the second and third days while you were able, and for the stoning on the first day where you doubted whether the pebbles reached the pit or not. The point is: that you owe one blood, a sacrificial animal, a one-year-old sheep or a two-year-old goat, like the 'Id sacrifice, to be slaughtered in Makkah for the poor, for leaving this obligatory duty; because it is necessary to know that the pebbles fell in the target or have a strong presumption thereof. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Where is this sacrificial animal slaughtered?
Answer: In Makkah, for the poor. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you and do you good. If she is not in Makkah, does she delegate, Your Eminence the Shaykh?
Answer: Yes, by herself or by her agent. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah bless you, may Allah reward you with good.
