If a jamaah haji misses stoning on one of the days of Tashriq, the majority of scholars hold that they can make it up the following day by stoning for both days. If the entire stoning period passes without stoning (after the 13th), a dam (sacrifice) is required as penalty. Missing the stoning of one or two days is made up; missing all of it requires a dam. The stoning is wajib (wajib) but not a pillar, so missing it does not invalidate Haji.
If a jamaah haji misses the stoning on one of the days of Tashriq (11th, 12th, or 13th of Dhul-Hijjah), the majority of scholars hold that they may make it up the following day. The jamaah haji should stone for the missed day first, then stone for the current day. Sheikh Ibn Baz explained that the days of stoning are interconnected — the stoning of one day can be deferred to the next, though this is not the Sunnah and should only be done when there is a valid excuse.
If a jamaah haji misses the stoning entirely — all days of Tashriq pass without stoning any Jamarah — the time for stoning has expired and cannot be made up. In this case, the jamaah haji must offer a dam (sacrifice of a sheep) as penalty for omitting the wajib act of stoning. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen clarified that the stoning is classified as wajib (wajib), not a rukun (pillar) of Haji, meaning that omitting it does not invalidate the Haji itself but requires a penalty.
The Permanent Committee noted that missing the stoning due to genuine inability — such as severe illness or being physically unable to reach the Jamarat even with assistance — requires appointing a proxy to stone on the jamaah haji's behalf. If no proxy was appointed and the time passed, a dam suffices. Al-Fawzan added that if the jamaah haji missed the 11th day but stoned on the 12th and 13th, they should stone for the missed day (21 pebbles total for the 12th — 7+7+7 for the missed day, plus 21 for the current day) if they remember.

Scholars from different schools of Islamic jurisprudence offer varying perspectives on this matter.
Missed stoning can be made up the following day. If the entire period passes, a dam is required. Stoning is wajib, and missing it does not invalidate Haji.
Al-Hidayah: missed stoning may be made up within the days of Tashriq, after which a dam is due.
The Maliki school holds that missed stoning can be made up within the days of Tashriq. After sunset on the 13th, the time has expired and a dam is due.
Al-Mudawwanah: missed stoning is made up within the remaining days; otherwise a penalty applies.
Missed stoning should be made up the following day. The jamaah haji stones for the missed day first in correct sequence, then for the current day. If the period expires, a dam is required.
Al-Majmu' by al-Nawawi: 'Missed stoning is made up the following day, and the missed day is stoned first.'
The Hanbali school permits making up missed stoning within the days of Tashriq, based on the hadith about the herdsmen. After the 13th, a dam is due.
Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudamah: the herdsmen's hadith establishes that stoning can be delayed and made up.
