The ruling on appointing a proxy to stone the pillars

Question:
He says: After stoning the Aqabah pillar on the first day of the festival, I fell ill with the flu and stayed in my place until the second day, when I stoned the three pillars. Then I appointed a person to stone the pillars of the third day, the second day of the days of Tashreeq, and I went to perform the farewell circumambulation and then went to Jeddah to visit my brother. But he made me return and said, "This is not permissible." So I returned at two in the morning—that is, after midnight—and stoned the three pillars in the midday, and returned after performing the farewell circumambulation for the second time. I ask you, may Allah reward you, to clarify whether what I did is valid? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If you appointed a proxy because you were a sick person unable to stone, then the agency is valid, and you do not have to repeat it, and the farewell circumambulation is valid if it was after the proxy stoned. However, if you were lax in the agency, or rather, if you were actually able to do it, then the one who ordered you to return was correct. You must stone the pillars for the twelfth day, for which you appointed a proxy, and you must also stone the pillars of the thirteenth day. This is because you came at night, and it was obligatory for you to stay until you stoned the pillar on the third day. Since the second day had passed for you without you having stoned the pillars, and you came at night on the night of the thirteenth, it was obligatory for you to stay until you stoned on the thirteenth day. Therefore, you must slaughter a sacrificial animal for not staying overnight and for not stoning on the thirteenth day.
As for the farewell circumambulation, this is a matter requiring consideration. If the first farewell circumambulation coincided with you having stoned the first pillars and you were excused due to your illness, then the farewell circumambulation is valid, and your return does not harm you. However, if you appointed a proxy while you were not in need of the agency, being healthy and able to stone, then you must offer a blood sacrifice for leaving the farewell circumambulation, and a blood sacrifice for leaving the stoning on the thirteenth day. Two sacrifices: one for leaving the stoning on the thirteenth day, and the second for leaving the farewell circumambulation. This is because you departed before the farewell circumambulation became permissible, as the farewell circumambulation is to be performed after the stoning. Yes.
