The ruling on a woman who performed Hajj and carried out all of its rites except for stoning
Question:
A woman performed Hajj and carried out all of its rites except for stoning the pillars. She appointed someone to stone them on her behalf because she had a small infant with her. Yet, this Hajj was her obligatory hajj. So, what is the ruling on that? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.
Answer:
There is no sin on her for that, and the stoning of the appointed person suffices her due to the great danger for women during crowding when stoning the pillars, let alone for those who have infants with them.
