The ruling on someone who is able appointing another person to throw for him due to heavy automobile traffic
Question :
Is it permissible to appoint someone to stone the pillars for a person who is driving his car and he gets caught in the traffic on the road until the 'Asr prayer?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the mentioned person to stone the pillars for himself as long as he is able to do that. He is the one who put himself among these cars by his own choice. He had the ability to stone the pillars and then drive his car. Along with this, this driver still has the time between Al-'Asr and Al- Maghrib, which is a long time for his situation to change for stoning and praying the 'Asr prayer in its time.
