What is the ruling if a person throws a stone and then doubts whether it landed in the designated area or not?

Book of Hajj

Book 11 · Issue 5 · Bab 5

Open in Qurani

Primary text

If a person doubts whether the stone landed in the designated area, the ritual throwing is invalid because the default assumption is that the obligation of throwing remains upon them, and doubt does not remove an obligation.

Supporting text

If the appearance (al-Dhahir) suggests it landed in the designated area, the throwing is considered valid, as appearance serves as evidence.
