The ruling on stoning the pillars before noon and after sunset

Question:
Is it permissible to stone the pillars during the days of Tashreeq at night after sunset? And does the one who stones before noon have to repeat it after noon, or with the other day?

Answer:
Stoning on the days of Tashreeq is done after noon, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. It is not permissible to stone before noon during the day. If someone stones before noon, he must repeat it after noon. As for stoning at night after the sun has set, or on the day of Eid, or if one did not stone on the day of Eid due to busyness, illness, or something similar, the scholars differed. Some said: it is postponed until he stones it after noon on the eleventh day, before stoning for the eleventh day; he starts with it after noon, before stoning for the eleventh day, then returns to stoning the three pillars of the eleventh day.
And some scholars said: it is permissible to stone it after sunset on the day of Eid, because there is no evidence prohibiting it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) stoned after noon, and he did not prohibit stoning after sunset. So he granted a dispensation to the shepherds to stone after sunset, because they were occupied during the day with herding. This indicates that if one is occupied during the day and is prevented from stoning during the day due to severe crowding, or due to other works, then he may stone after sunset. This is the stronger and closer position: that it is permissible for him to stone after sunset on the day of Eid for the day of Eid, and after sunset on the eleventh day for the eleventh day, and after sunset for the twelfth day, if stoning on the twelfth day was not facilitated for him. As for the thirteenth day, no; stoning ends with sunset on the thirteenth day, so there is no stoning after sunset on the thirteenth day. But stoning during the day after noon is more cautious and better, and it involves exiting from the disagreement and being far from doubt.
