Chapter: Stoning the Jamarāt
It was noted earlier, under “The Acts of Ḥajj,” that the time for casting at Jamrat al-ʿAqabah on the Day of Sacrifice runs from sunrise until the sun begins to decline. Whoever fails to stone Jamrat al-ʿAqabah on that day until nightfall is recommended—but not obliged—to offer a sacrificial animal. If he omits it on the Day of Sacrifice and performs it instead during the Days of Tashrīq, he must slaughter a camel. Should a person overlook even a single pebble at any jamrah until the stoning days have ended, he is required to sacrifice a sheep; if he neglects an entire jamrah, a cow or a camel is due.
The appointed time for casting during the days at Minā is from the sun’s zenith until sunset. One who forgets to cast on any of those days, or postpones it until night, may cast during the night and nothing is required of him; this is Mālik’s position in his Muwaṭṭaʾ. A different report from him obliges a blood-sacrifice, but it is unsupported, for he consistently holds that if the casting is performed the following day, nothing is due.
If someone omits the casting for one day and performs it the next, and on the third day—after finishing that day’s casting—remembers the day he first missed, he should cast for the day he omitted, then repeat that day’s casting, while the intermediate day need not be repeated.
Casting may be done on behalf of a child or an invalid who is unable to perform it. It is recommended that the proxy not cast for either of them until he has first cast for himself, and a single cast cannot count simultaneously for more than one person; if he attempts that, it suffices neither for himself nor for the other.
The sick pilgrim should note the proper time and pronounce the takbīr. Should he recover during the stoning days, he must cast for himself, and, according to Mālik, a blood-sacrifice is still required of him.
Whoever neglects the casting for any single day at Minā until that day has passed must offer a blood-sacrifice, and a sheep is sufficient. If he omits the casting for all three days, the preferred ruling is that he must slaughter a camel or a cow, though a sheep will still discharge the obligation. And it is permissible.
