The ruling regarding washing the stones for stoning (the Jamaraat)
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: What is the ruling regarding washing the stones for stoning (the Jamaraat)?

Response: They should not be washed. Rather, if a person washes them with the intention of worshipping Allaah (by this action), then this is an innovation because the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) did not do this.
