He got sick on the day of Eid; should he delegate someone to stone the Jamrah on his behalf, or should he delay stoning the Jamaraat until the last of the days of at-tashreeq?

Praise
be to Allah

If some
impediment arises that prevents a person from stoning the Jamrah on the day
of Eid, then he may delay it until he is strong enough to do that, because
the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) gave permission to
the herdsmen to stone the Jamaraat on one day and to refrain from doing so
on one day, and he did not tell them to appoint someone to do that on their
behalf.

It is not
permissible to be careless about the matter of appointing someone to stone
the Jamaraat on one’s behalf, because stoning the Jamaraat is one of the
rituals of Hajj. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the
meaning):

“And
complete the hajj and ‘umrah for Allah”

[al-Baqarah
2:196].

So it is not
permissible to appoint someone else to do that just because one feels tired,
or because it is crowded. We say: As for feeling tired, if a pilgrim is
tired all the time, as in the case of a pregnant woman, old man or old
woman, then in this case he or she may appoint someone else to stone the
Jamaraat on his or her behalf. But if the pilgrim is affected by mild
illness that he hopes to recover from by the end of the days of at-tashreeq,
then it is not permissible for him to appoint someone to do that on his
behalf. End quote.
