Prohibition of throwing pebbles


486

Q 3: What does the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbid in the Hadith narrated on the authority of Abu Sa`id `Abdullah ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) that “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade the flinging of pebbles and said, 'It neither kills the game nor kills the enemy, but it can gouge out an eye or break a tooth.'" (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)?


A: According to this Hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade throwing small pebbles in the presence of people for this might harm or gouge out people's eyes.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
