Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
It is permissible to bring pebbles from anywhere within the Haram area for the Rami ritual (stoning the pillars).
Responding to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
Yes, it is permissible to bring pebbles from anywhere within the Haram area for the Rami ritual (stoning the pillars). Collecting pebbles from Muzdalifah is not mandatory, though it is recommended for the first day’s pelting, following the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) Sunnah.
The Prophet collected pebbles from Muzdalifah but did not make it compulsory, a view supported by scholars. You can gather pebbles from Mina, Muzdalifah, or any Haram spot. The key is to perform Rami with the right intention and timing, regardless of where the pebbles come from.
