Exploring the Ruling of Ramy (Jamarât Al-'Aqabah) from the Upper Floors in a New Form

This study examines the jurisprudential ruling of Ramy Jamarât from the upper floors as well as the newly extended parts. The results of this library-based research obtained by using software and analyzing the evidences indicate that at the time of legislation of Islamic law (Shari'at) and issuance of Islamic narrations Jamara was a symbol and sign installed at the current place of Ramy in Mina at which the pilgrims had to throw stones. Historical accounts and evidences available in the narrations also indicate that this symbol was not important by itself and merely indicated the point at which the stone should be thrown. Therefore, it seems that its longitudinal, horizontal, and altitudinal development at the present time does not have any effect on the ruling of Ramy. Because, each one of them which now exist in the form of an extended pillar in the upper floors represents the location of the Ramy and the direction of throwing stone. And throwing a stone at the extended pillar at each floor, whether it hits the pillar or falls into the pool next to it, is enough for Ramy authenticity.
