Ramy al-Jamarat: Difference between revisions

Ramy (stoning) of al-Jamara al-'Aqaba (the last jamara) on the 10th of Dhu l-Hijja ([[Eid al-Adha]]) is the fourth obligation of hajj and the first rite performed in the land of Minā.  

The women and the weak —who are allowed to go from [[al-Mashʿar al-Haram]] to [[Mina]] during the night before the [[Eid al-Adha]] (see [[wuquf at al-Mashʿar al-Haram]])— may perform ramy (stoning) at al-Jamara al-'Aqaba at night in case they are unable to perform it on the day of Eid al-Adha. Rather, all women can perform ramy at night, provided that the ramy is for the hajj they are doing, whether they are performing their own hajj or [the whole hajj] [[Hajj on behalf|on behalf]] of another person. But, on the basis of obligatory caution, if a woman is doing [only] ramy on behalf of another person, her act of performing ramy is incorrect at night even if she is unable to do it during the day. Those who accompany the women or the weak may perform ramy (stoning) at al-Jamara al-'Aqaba during the night only if they are themselves excused. Otherwise, it is obligatory that ramy (stoning) should occur during the day.
