Purification upon throwing the pebbles?

10-1-2010 | IslamWeb

Question:

Is it a condition that the pilgrim performs ablution upon hurling the Jamraat in Hajj on the Days of Tashreeq?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

Purification is not a condition for any of the Hajj rituals expect in Tawaaf around the Ka‘bah. When ‘Aa’ishah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her experienced menstruation, the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said to her: "Do what the pilgrims do except Tawaaf around the Ka‘bah." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] Therefore, ablution is not a precondition for throwing the pebbles. It is only recommended.

Allaah Knows best.
