Stoning New Jamarat

Q: Recently hajj authorities have built a wall with 25m. length and 1m width in the place of the old Jamarat at both the ground and upper floors a matter that made it so difficult, or even impossible, to recognize the place of the old pillar or to stand in this crowded place and search for it. Knowing that, would you mind to express your esteemed opinion regarding the ramy of Jamarat?

A: If one is able – without difficulty or unbearable hardship – to stone what is actually in the place of the old pillar, they are obliged to do that. However, if searching for the place of the old pillar or stoning it entails difficulty or unbearable hardship, it is valid, God willing, to throw the pebbles at any point on the said wall.
