Q: In 1415 A. H., I traveled to perform Ifrad Hajj (performing Hajj only) for the first time in my life. On the first day of `Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice)-after leaving `Arafah and staying at night in Muzdalifah, I threw Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah (the closest pebble-throwing area to Makkah) and went to Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque in Makkah) and performed Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation of the Ka`bah in Hajj). After that, while I was in Makkah I authorized someone to stone the Jamarat (stone pillars at which pebbles are thrown during Hajj, Jamarat-ul-`Aqabah being the closest to Makkah) on my behalf because I was ill. Is there anything required from me? I am ignorant of the matters related to Hajj and the order of throwing pebbles (at the pebble-throwing area during Hajj). Kindly provide me with a Fatwa (legal opinion issued by a qualified Muslim scholar) and what should I do . A: If the case is as you mentioned, there is nothing wrong if you authorized another pilgrim to throw the pebbles on your behalf. (Part No. 10; Page No. 329
