Is it permissible to stone the جمرات at night during the days of Tashriq?

Stoning the جمرات at night is permissible جمہور علماء کے مطابق, particularly for those who have a valid reason for delaying. The time for stoning on each of the days of Tashriq begins after zawal and extends until fajr of the following day, according to the majority position. This means the nighttime is a valid extension of the stoning period, not a separate time.

Sheikh Ibn Baz ruled that nighttime stoning is permissible for those who have a valid excuse, such as illness, extreme crowding that makes daytime stoning dangerous, caring for weak or elderly family members, or other genuine hardships. He preferred daytime stoning as it follows نبی کریم's practice but acknowledged that نبی کریم did not explicitly prohibit nighttime stoning. The Permanent Committee issued similar guidance.

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen took a broader view, holding that the time for stoning extends from zawal until fajr of the next day, and stoning at any point during this window — including at night — is valid without requiring a specific excuse. He reasoned that the nighttime period between Maghrib and fajr is still part of the same day's stoning window. However, he مستحب daytime stoning when possible, as it is closer to the Sunnah. Al-Fawzan similarly permitted nighttime stoning, noting that the extreme crowds of modern حج make this a practical necessity for many حجاج.
