A: If the case is as you mentioned, that the women in your group were able to stone the Jamarat on their own, but you insisted that they authorize you to do so for fear of overcrowding and there was no (Part No. 10; Page No. 335) crowd, it is obligatory upon each of these women to offer a Fidyah (ransom) by slaughtering a sheep in Makkah meeting the conditions of Ud-hiyah (a sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) whose meat is distributed among the poor around the Haram (all areas within the Sacred Precincts of Makkah).
