The time for stoning Jamrat al-`Aqabah is on the day of `Eid after the sun has risen and lasts until sunset on the day of `Eid. The stoning on the days of Tashriq starts from when the sun passes its zenith (i.e., when the time for Zuhr prayer begins) and ends at the end of the night.
Jamrat al-`Aqabah is the first of the jamarat to be stoned. It is stoned on the day of `Eid after the sun has risen.
It is permissible for the weak – women, children and others – to stone it during the night of ‘Eid (at the end of the night), because Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) used to wait for the moon to set on the night of ‘Eid, then when it set she would leave Muzdalifah for Mina and stone the jamrah.
There is nothing wrong with delaying that until the end of the night, because of the severe crowding, or because of being too far away from the jamarat, but it should not be delayed until dawn on the eleventh of Dhul Hijjah.
Time for stoning during the days of Tashriq (the 11th, 12thand 13thof Dhul Hijjah)
The stoning on the days of Tashriq starts from when the sun passes its zenith (i.e., when the time for Zuhr prayer begins).
The time for stoning ends at the end of the night . If it is difficult and too hot etc ., there is nothing wrong with stoning them at night, until dawn comes, but it is not permissible to delay it until after dawn.
It is not permissible to stone the jamarat on the 11th, 12thor 13thbefore the sun has passed its zenith, because the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not stone them until after the sun had passed its zenith, and he said to the people: “Learn your rituals (of Hajj) from me.” The fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) delayed the stoning until this time, even though it is very hot then, and did not do it at the beginning of the day, when it is cooler and easier, indicates that it is not permissible to stone the jamarat before this time. This is also indicated by the fact that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to stone the jamarat from the time when the sun had passed its zenith, before he prayed Zuhr. This indicates that it is not permissible to stone the jamarat before the sun has passed its zenith – otherwise it would be better to do it before the sun passed its zenith so that one could offer the prayer at the beginning of its time, because it is better to pray at the beginning of the time for prayer. The point is that the evidence indicates that it is not permissible to stone the jamarat on the days of Tashriq before the sun has passed its zenith. (See Fatawa Arkan al-Islam, p. 560)

Zuhr prayer
The Zuhr prayer (Arabic: صَلَاةُ ٱلظُّهْر, romanized: ṣalāt aẓ-ẓuhr, lit. 'noon prayer') is one of the five daily mandatory Islamic prayers (salah). It is observed after Fajr and before Asr prayers, between the zenith of noon and sunset, and contains four cycles (rakah).
Many scholars feel that the ritual can be done any time between noon and sunset on this day; however, many Muslims are taught that it should be done immediately after the noon prayer.
According to the practice of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), after throwing stones at the first two pillars, he went forward, faced the Qiblah raised his hands looking at it, and made supplication [Hisn al-Muslim 239]. Reciting dua when throwing each pebble at the jamarat involves reciting Bismillah and then saying takbeer.
Sunrise to midday (10 minutes before the beginning of Dhuhr salah) – sunnah. Try to perform Rami at this time, provided it isn't too crowded. Between midday and sunset – Permissible (Mubah) without being disliked.
The Jamarat thus serves as a symbol of Ibrahim's rejection of Satan and his temptations. It is believed that performing the symbolic stoning of the Jamarat during the Hajj is a way for Muslims to reenact this event and demonstrate their own rejection of Satan and their commitment to Allah.
Stoning appears to have been the standard method of capital punishment in ancient Israel. Its use is attested in the early Christian era, but Jewish courts generally avoided stoning sentences in later times. Only a few isolated instances of legal stoning are recorded in pre-modern history of the Islamic world.
The condemned was place into a hole in the ground with his arms at his side. When the hole was filled and the condemned totally immobilized, the person in charge threw a single stone at the man's head. Then a dump truck drew up and dumped a full load of relatively small rocks on the condemned.
He explained that the pebbles fall and eventually settle in the Jamarat facility's basem*nt, to a depth of 15 meters. A number of conveyor belts collect the stones and a process starts to sift them and spray them with water to rid them of impurities.
During the Hajj season, pilgrims participate in the ritual of throwing stones at the three Jamarat over the course of three days known as Tashreeq. They start with the Small Jamarat, then the middle one, and finally the Great Jamarat. Pilgrims gather these stones from Mina or Muzdalifah, which are small pebbles.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims make a journey to Mina to throw stones at three walls that they believe represent the devil. The ritual, called Ramy Al Jamarat, is part of the Hajj pilgrimage to Islam's holy sites in Saudi Arabia.
The stoning of the Jamarat – otherwise referred to as the 'stoning of the devil' – is a ritual carried out by Hajj pilgrims whereby pebbles are thrown at three stone structures in Mina across three days. The first day of stoning occurs on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah.
It should noted that it is permissible to stone the Jamaraat at night, especially with your elderly mother being there. That is better than doing it before the meridian, because there is no evidence that suggests that the end of the time for stoning comes at sunset.
On the 10th day of the month of Dhū al-Ḥijjah, the start of the festival, hajj pilgrims each throw seven small stones at Jamrat al-ʿAqabah—one of three stone walls (jamrahs) located in the valley of Minā—which is identified by tradition as the site where the patriarch Abraham stoned Satan for attempting to dissuade him ...
Pilgrims perform the ritual at one Jamarat (Jamarat Al-Aqaba) on the first day of stoning on the Day of Sacrifice, Dhul Hijjah 10. In the next two or three days, they hurl seven stones each at the three pillars.
In countries where the legal system is based on Islamic Sharia law, stoning is the penalty to be used to punish adultery. Stoning is primarily a way of executing women, as the evidence of a woman before a court counts only half that of a man, and rape is considered as a 'confession' of adultery.

During the final three days of the Hajj, pilgrims cast stones at pillars representing the devil, a reenactment of the temptation of the Prophet Ibrahim as related in Muslim traditions. Christian and Jewish traditions refer to him as Abraham.
