fingers - then he should throw it. And others say: He should
make a circle with his forefinger upon the joint of his thumb as
if he were making the number 10.

Not
celebrating the day where the pilgrims throw the stones by

stone contradicts Sunnah and makes one miss great rewards.

Asking
another to throw the stones on behalf of one despite one’s

so on.
