The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, on Friday
said Nigerians will no longer participate in the stoning of
devil ritual, except they get accommodation close to
Jamrat, where the exercise will take place. He also reiterated his earlier position that blacks,
particularly Nigerians were not responsible for the
stampede.
The Emir’s reaction followed the recent stampede in
Saudi Arabia that killed several pilgrims, including about
70 Nigerians.
The Emir, who quoted several verses of the Qur’an, said
refusal to perform the stoning of devil ritual does not in
any way invalidate one’s pilgrimage.
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 can 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 recommendation 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.
“If one deliberately refuses to perform the stoning of the
devil ritual, all he needs to do is just to slaughter a ram.
So, if this is the situation, why do we go and suffer and
die instead of sacrificing a ram.”

How would you stone the devil when you aren't a born again Muslim? The devil will stone back na.

By the way, an insightful report by the best CBN governor so far.

The devil does not exist.
It is only a figment of the imagination of the insecured for not wanting to take responsibility for their actions/inaction.
This fact was figured out in yorubaland more than 1000 year ago.

How can devils advocate be stoning devil

The whole exercise in Makka is nothing but Idolatry

I heard about how the dead were buried, so decently. The Arabs will give Africans accommodation close to their quarters Are you kidding me
Wake me when it happens
