Is throwing stones to wards the Shaiyateen during the Hajj is needed?

[Sardar Miyan]

Scores of Hujjaj die while throwing the stones on Shiatheen while doing Rummy? Is this a part of Hajj? Please clarify ?

Salaam Sadder Miyan,

To answer your question about whether the stoning of shiatheen during Rummy is part of Hajj, brother Joseph Islam gives the following answer in one of his articles which touches on the Hajj piligraming from a Quran perspective:

"[with regards to the] Stoning of the Devil (Rami Jamarat). There is no such story of Satan appearing to Prophet Abraham (pbuh) 3 times in the Quran or any other previous scripture. If one visits this location, it is a choice. There is nothing in the Quran to support this practice in which many lives are potentially compromised every year."

Hajj from a Quran perspective:

Therefore Bro Joseph Islam says that the practice is throwing stones in Jamart is not practice of Haj hence not valid as scores of Hajees are perish.

Throwing stones at symbolic satan is not in Quran.
