Ruling on delaying Jamrat to the last day and throwing all the pebbles at one time
Is it permissible for the pilgrim to stone the Jamrat (stone pillars at which pebbles are thrown during Hajj) of the Days of Tashriq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul-Hijjah) all in one day, being the first or the last of the Days of Tashriq or the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice, 10th of Dhul-Hijjah, when pilgrims slaughter their sacrificial animals) then spend the night in Mina for two or three days without throwing the pebbles at the Jamrat as they are to be thrown in one day? Or should the throwing be done in order, each day separately? Kindly point this out to us, supporting your answer with evidence.| (Part No. 17; Page No. 377) |

except on the day of Nahr which is all fit for throwing, though it is better to do it after sunrise,
except for those who have excuses who are permitted to stone
Jamrat-ul-‘Aqabah on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah after 12:00 p.m. It is not
permissible to stone the Jamrat before its due time; as for delaying it,
this is permissible in cases of extreme necessity such as to avoid overcrowding, according to a group of scholars on the basis of Qiyas (analogy) with those who provide water
for the pilgrims whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave Rukhsah
(concession) to stone the three Jamrat of two days on the second one of
them, i.e., 12th of Dhul-Hijjah. But in such a case, the correct order
is still obligatory: one must begin by stoning with the intention of
performing it for `Eid day, then one stones with the intention of
performing it for the first day,
then for the second day, and then for the third day, if the person is
not in a hurry to leave. Then Tawaf-ul-Wada‘ (circumambulation around
the Ka‘bah on leaving Makkah) is to be performed. Allah knows best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ascending to Hira’ Cave
Some pilgrims have accidents while ascending Al-Nur Mountain and descending the Cave (Hira’). Therefore, some people suggested establishing
stairways that lead to the Cave, along with blocking any other ways
leading to it by iron grids, to prevent anyone from going there except
through the specified route for ascending and descending.
, and ascension to it should not be facilitated by any means, pursuant to the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him):
Anyone who introduces anything into this matter of ours (Islam) that is not part of it will have it rejected.
(Agreed upon its authenticity by Imams Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
More
than fourteen centuries have passed since the rise of Islam and the
outset of revelation, and we have not known that any of the
Rightly-Guided Caliphs, the Sahabah (Companions of the Prophet), or the
Muslim rulers who were in charge of the rituals in the past have done
this. The welfare of everyone is in following their way and treading in
their footsteps, in the hope of attaining Reward from Allah,--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menstruating on the day of stoning the largest Jamarah
A woman began menstruating while performing the rites of Hajj on the day of stoning the largest Jamarah (Jamrat-ul-‘Aqabah: the closest stone pillar to Makkah). What is the ruling on her performing Tawaf-ul-Ifadah (final obligatory circumambulation around the Ka‘bah in Hajj) and Tawaf-ul-Wada‘ (circumambulation around the Ka‘bah on leaving Makkah)?
The people were commanded that the last thing they should do is to circumambulate the House (the Ka‘bah), but an exception was made for menstruating women---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Days to offer sacrifice
It is permissible for a pilgrim to slaughter during the day or the night, whether it is Hady (sacrificial animal offered by pilgrims) of Tamattu‘ (`Umrah during the months of Hajj followed by Hajj in the same year with a break in between), Qiran (combining Hajj and `Umrah without a break in between) or Ud-hiyah. The days of sacrifice are: the Day of ‘Eid-ul-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice), and the three days following it which end with the sunset of the thirteenth day (of Dhul-Hijjah), after ‘Eid.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Udhiyah – What should be eaten and what should be given away
The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them)
differed concerning the amounts that should be eaten and given as gifts and in charity. The matter is broad in scope but the best way is to eat
one-third, give one-third as gifts and give one-third in charity.
What one is permitted to eat may also be stored, even for a long time,
so long
as that will not result in any harm being caused by eating it,
except in times of famine, when it is not permitted to store it for more
than three
days, because of the hadeeth of Salamah ibn al-Akwa’ (may Allaah be
pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you offers a sacrifice
should not have anything of it left in his house after three days.” The
following year, they said, “O Messenger of Allaah, should we do what
we did last year?” He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said,
“Eat some, give some to others and store some, for last year the
people were having a hard time and I wanted you to help (the needy).”
Agreed
upon. With
regard to the permission to eat and give
away the meat of the udhiyah it makes no difference whether the
sacrifice is voluntary or obligatory, or whether it is offered on behalf
of a
living person or a deceased one, or in fulfillment of a will,
because the executor of the will takes the place of the person who made
it, and the
person who made the will would eat, give away and give in charity. And because this is the custom among people, and that which is done customarily
is like that which is spoken.
It is
haraam to sell any part of the
udhiyah, whether that is the meat or any other part, including the
skin. And the butcher should not be given any part of it in return for
his work
or part of it, because that is like selling. But if a person gives the butcher some of it as a gift or as an act of charity, then he may dispose of it however he wishes, by selling it or otherwise, but he should not sell it to the one who gave it to him.

Giving a part of Ud-hiyah to non-Muslim neighbors
If a neighbor is a Kafir (non-Muslim), but he never disturbs me with regard to ‘Ibadah (worship); is it permissible to give him from the Ud-hiyah (sacrificial animal offered by non-pilgrims) and from the ‘Aqiqah (sacrifice for a newborn)? Respected Shaykh, we hope you will clarify this issue for us.
KUTBAH IN BRIEF
There is no day on which people are saved from hellfire like the Day of Arafat, worshippers will be told on Friday.
“On a day like this, the Prophet, peace be upon him, stood in Arafat during the farewell sermon
during the 10th year of hijra and gave a great speech,” the sermon
says. During his speech, he reminded Muslims that every Muslim’s life
and property is sacred and people should therefore not breach each
other’s rights.“O People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust.”
Through his words, the Prophet was keen on preserving rights in societies and human blood.
A verse from the Quran says: “There hath come unto you a messenger, (one) of yourselves, unto whom ought that ye are overburdened is grievous, full of concern for you, for the believers full of pity, merciful.”
The sermon says that the Prophet’s words are the biggest deterrent for those who accuse other Muslims of being non-believers in order to shed their blood and abuse their rights and honour.
“And terrorise the secure ones following paths of extremism and violence ... this prophetic document which the Prophet announced in his farewell sermon prohibits any extremism ... and carries a message to the whole world, to Muslims and non Muslims, on the benefits
of Islamic legislations,” the sermon says.“The prophetic warnings in the farewell sermon emphasise that we should portray the forgiveness of our religion, the beauty of our values and principles ...” the sermon concludes.
