Summary
Stoning the jamrah does not mean pelting a devil tied to the jamrah wall. The act is symbolic, following the practice of Prophet Ibrahim AS, who fought Satan by throwing small stones at him. Its main purpose is to draw servants closer to Allah SWT, to remember Him and to show obedience to His command.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan melontar jamrah bukan bermaksud bahawa melontar syaitan yang diikat di dinding jamrah tetapi perbuatan tersebut merupakan simbolik dan isyarat sahaja.
