What is the ruling on omitting the standing and supplicating at the Jamarat?
Chapter on the Description of Hajj
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
Omitting the standing and supplicating at the Jamarat constitutes leaving a Sunnah, and no penalty is incumbent upon the pilgrim. This is the established position of Al-Shafi'i, Abu Hanifa, Ishaq, and Abu Thawr, with no known dissenter except Al-Thawri. The reason for this ruling is that the act is a prescribed standing and supplication, and neglecting a prescribed supplication does not necessitate penalty, similar to the situation when sighting the Ka'bah or other general supplications. Furthermore, since it is one of the Jamarat, standing and supplicating there is not obligatory, analogous to the first Jamarah.

Al-Thawri opined that the pilgrim should feed someone (make atonement), and that spilling blood (offering a sacrifice) is preferred because the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed it, suggesting it is a rite. However, the primary view holds that the Prophet performed both obligatory acts and recommended acts, and evidence confirms that standing and supplicating here is a recommendation (Mandub).
