Is it permissible for a pilgrim to deputize someone else to cast the pebbles on behalf of his wife, mother, father, and a woman who is not a relative, given that they are present in the Haram on the Farewell Day to perform Tawaf Al-Ifadah and Tawaf Al-Wadaa? Is it permissible for him to trim his hair, nails, and pubic hair after exiting the state of Ihram for Umrah and before entering the state of Ihram for Hajj? Is it permissible to depart from Muzdalifah at dawn and head directly to one's accommodation to exit the state of Ihram before casting the pebbles at Jamrat Al-Aqaba Al-Kubra?
The general rule is that the pilgrim must cast the pebbles himself, and deputization is not permissible except for a valid excuse such as illness or imprisonment. The pilgrims' desire to hasten the circumambulation to avoid crowds is not a valid excuse permitting deputization. The farewell circumambulation is not sufficient for someone unable to cast the pebbles until his proxy has cast them on his behalf.
