about the loss of many lives at the stoning of the devil rites
during the recent Hajj.
He has advised the federal government to encourage
Nigerians who go to Hajj in future to skip that part of the
rite unless they get spaces close to Jamrat where the
stoning takes place.
According to the Nation, Alhaji Sanusi told Sokoto pilgrims
in the Holy Land that stoning of the devil is not worth the
blood of any Muslim adding that the refusal to perform
the stoning of devil rituals does not in any way invalidate
one’s Hajj.
He said:“During the era of Prophet Muhammad (SAW),
he permitted pilgrims who came on camels to stay in Makkah
after Arafat, instead of staying in Mina and sleeping at
Muzdalifa.
So, if the Prophet could give such grace to some people,
just to protect their animals, why didn’t our scholars
educate our people properly to avoid this untoward hardship
and death.
Therefore, it will be part of my recommendations to the
federal government that, if we cannot get accommodation
close to Jamrat where the Arabs reside in Mina, then this
year may be the last time we will sleep in Mina and Muzdalifa
because we want to stone the devil.
Besides that, if one deliberately refuses to even perform
the stoning of the devil rituals, all he needs to do is to
slaughter a ram. So, if this is the situation, why do we go and
suffer and die instead of sacrificing a ram?
As is it presently, sleeping in Mina and Muzdalifa is not
backed by any Hadith or verse of the Qur’an. So, why do we
continue to do it?”
