Q: This year I performed Hajj on behalf of my late mother. On the third day of throwing stones
(at the pillars during Hajj),
I almost died in the crowds, but finally I stoned the minor Jamrah. I was unable to reach the middle and the major Jamrahs. The crowds of pilgrims pushed me back and I tried my utmost, but to no avail. As such, I threw the seven stones at each pillar from afar; however I could not throw even a single stone at the middle and major pillars. Is what I did permissible? Am I at fault for anything?
A:
You must slaughter a sheep that counts as Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) and distribute it among the poor of the Haram for not stoning the middle and major Jamrahs. The way you threw the stones does not count because the stones land outside the basin around the stone pillars.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
