Summary
Stoning the jamrah with wood, a sandal, a bottle or similar items is invalid and the throw must be repeated, because the condition requires the use of stone. All kinds of stone are accepted, including marble and granite, and stones that are larger or smaller than the usual size are only disliked but still valid. Throwing water, mud, clay, ceramic, or worked gold, silver and tin is also invalid because these are not categorised as stone.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melontar jamrah dengan menggunakan selain daripada batu seperti kayu, selipar, botol dan seumpamanya adalah tidak sah dan perlu diulang semula lontaran tersebut.
